‘Husky Pack’ Helped Pass a Lifesaving Domestic Abuse Bill and This Northeastern University Graduate and Advocate Led the Way

A team of Northeastern Law graduates and faculty were instrumental in organizing and developing a bill, signed in to law last week by Governor Maura Healey ’98, that expands the definition of domestic abuse to include coercive control. Northeastern Global News reports on the combined efforts of Dean James Hackney, Professor Margo Lindauer ’07, State Representatives Natalie Higgins ’14 and Tram Nguyen ’13, State Senate President Karen Spilka ’80, Jamie Sabino ’78 and Hema Sarang-Sieminski ‘05 in helping advocate and Northeastern graduate Carmen Aliber pass “An Act to prevent abuse and exploitation.”
