How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “So important are these statutory considerations that, on review, [the Court] cannot be left to speculate as to whether the trial court has fulfilled its obligations.”
- “Termination of parental rights, however, implicates the fundamental constitutional right to raise one’s own child. Because this right is ‘so fundamental... it may not be taken away unless clearly justified.’ ”
- “We are mindful of the concerns of many children’s advocates who are understandably critical of inordinate delays in resolution of these painful cases. Surely, these cases warrant swift and careful attention, because when a child’s status remains in ‘limbo,’ the child often suffers.”
