This disclosure documents subpoenas and privacy requests made to 1800RESPECT, a national domestic violence and sexual assault service, across 2021-2022. The records show law firms and legal representatives issued subpoenas seeking call notes, transcripts, and audio recordings for various purposes including criminal court proceedings, personal injury claims, and court proceedings generally. Specific monthly data shows multiple subpoena requests in June 2021 (at least five instances), August 2021 (three instances), and smaller numbers in April, September 2021, and early 2022. A June 2025 update indicates one active subpoena in the reporting period. Substantial portions of the documents are redacted under section 22 of the Freedom of Information Act, obscuring details about requestor types and specific purposes. The disclosure reveals the volume and nature of legal process demands on the service but provides limited context about outcomes or systemic impacts.
