What is Marsy's Law?


Marsy’s Law ensures that crime victims have clear, meaningful, and enforceable rights throughout the criminal justice process.

In Arkansas, Marsy’s Law would help protect victims by making sure they are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect; kept informed about important developments in their cases; given the opportunity to be present and heard during key proceedings; and protected from intimidation, harassment, or unnecessary delays.

“I know what it’s like to survive violence and then face a justice system with no guarantee I’d even be told what happened next. Marsy’s Law guarantees victims the right to be informed, present, and heard.”

— Laura Abbott, Marsy’s Law for Arkansas State Chairperson, founder of Victims’ Rights Arkansas, and inspiration behind Laura’s Card.
