A Message From the Editor

Window legislation for child sex abuse cases became a very hot topic a few years ago, leading a wave of states to begin opening up the statue of limitations for child sex abuse cases. After courts have begun reviewing the constitutionality of these laws, a patchwork is emerging across the country of states offering different avenues for bring cases that would otherwise be time-barred. Our first item today has an overview of where things stand, plus some great insights into how lawyers will need to be creative if they want to bring these lawsuits. Also, Philadelphia-based U.S. Attorney Jacqueline Romero has stepped down from the role she held for the past three years.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
