On December 15, Simpson Thacher won its pro bono appeal of the denial of a five-year restraining order renewal for an indigent victim of domestic violence. A panel of the California Court of Appeal unanimously held that the trial court abused its discretion by denying the renewal and instead merely warning the abuser that a new restraining order would issue if he continued his abusive conduct. The Simpson Thacher team included Partner Jason Bussey and Associates Rob Keele and Liz White. The Firm partnered with the Family Violence Appellate Project and Bay Area Legal Aid.
