We are working jointly with the Child Welfare League of America to obtain, analyze, and categorize all past and current child welfare class action lawsuits where there was either a court order, consent decree, or court-approved settlement agreement. We think we know about most of these, but the following are about half the U.S. states, where we are not sure if there have been such cases. Were there such class action cases in any of these states? Alaska Colorado Delaware Florida Hawaii Iowa Idaho Kentucky Louisiana Maine Minnesota Montana Nebraska Nevada North Carolina North Dakota Oklahoma Oregon South Carolina South Dakota Texas Vermont Virginia Wyoming If you know of any child welfare class action suits in any of these states, please e-mail information on them (including where we might obtain a copy of the consent decree) to: rachmolly@xxxxxxxxx Thank you. Once we have completed this study, we will make it widely available. -- Howard Davidson Director, ABA Center on Children and the Law American Bar Association, 740 15th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005 202/662-1740 Fax: 202/662-1755 davidsonha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Center's Web Address: http://www.abanet.org/child ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
