In re Dezi C. (S275578)
California courts have been struggling with the proper way to address inadequate inquiries into whether a minor in the dependency system may be an Indian child. The California Supreme Court will address the issue, and CSAC’s brief that an automatic reversal of dependency rulings for ICWA violations is not warranted by statute. The brief was prepared by Eliza Molk in the San Diego County Counsel’s Office.
