She is a fierce advocate for survivors, women, invisibly disabled persons, and those who identify as LGBTQ+, to name just a few. <a href="https://scott-scott.com/attorney/victoria-burke/" title="https://scott-scott.com/attorney/victoria-burke/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Victoria Burke</a> is an attorney with Scott + Scott Attorneys at Law and an Adjunct Law Professor at Southwestern Law School. In October 2023, a bill that she initially drafted and proposed was signed into law in California by Gov. Gavin Newson as AB 933. This law allows survivors of sexual assault to speak out without fear of weaponized defamation lawsuits being used to silence them. Victoria continues her legislative advocacy to spread her bill nationwide...a version of her bill is currently introduced in the following states: NY, IL, HI, MN, AZ, DE, and IA...with more states expected to follow next year.
