We're trying to identify all states with state or federal class action consent decrees



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.
