Where The Reason Stops: Babcock V. State Establishes An Unjustified Immunity For Foster-Care Placement, Christine A. Mccabe
Where The Reason Stops: Babcock V. State Establishes An Unjustified Immunity For Foster-Care Placement, Christine A. Mccabe
Seattle University Law Review

The Note will then begin the discussion of the Babcock case with an explanation of the nature of a dependency proceeding and the duties performed by a caseworker during initiation of a dependency proceeding and during placement in foster-care.

Quasi-Judicial Immunity: The Arbitrator's Shield Or Sword, Robert M. Carroll
Journal of Dispute Resolution
With the rising number of divorces in today's society 2 and with the national emphasis to resolve child custody disputes through alternative forms of dispute resolution,3 the ability to hold arbitrators accountable for their actions within settlement conferences is becoming a prevalent issue.

The court in Howard v. Drapkin addressed …
