Feb 21, 2012OUTCOME: Trial court reversed by the Minnesota Court of Appeals, review denied by the Minnesota Supreme Court
Successfully argued that when a petition for return of custody under the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), 25 U.S.C. 1916(a), is challenged, the district court must apply all subsections of 25 U.S.C. 19 ... 12 (2006) to determine whether reuniting the child and parent is not in the child's best interests.
