Serving West Virginia

Baker & Brown file amicus brief on behalf of WVCADV

Work­ing in a pro bono capac­ity, Baker & Brown recently filed an ami­cus brief in the West Vir­ginia Supreme Court of Appeals on behalf of the West Vir­ginia Coali­tion Against Domes­tic Vio­lence.  The case, Kim­berly Thomas v. Joseph B. Mor­ris, No. 35141, pro­vides the Court with the oppor­tu­nity to define what con­sti­tutes domes­tic vio­lence under West Vir­ginia Code § 48–27-202(5).  We are proud to part­ner with an orga­ni­za­tion that pro­vides impor­tant ser­vices, resources, and sup­port to many West Virginians.

The Court will hear oral argu­ment in the case on Wednes­day, Octo­ber 7, 2009.  A copy of the brief is avail­able on the Supreme Court’s website.
