Ensuring Effective Counsel For Parents: Extending Padilla To Termination Of Parental Rights Proceedings, Sarah Freeman Jan 2013

Ensuring Effective Counsel For Parents: Extending Padilla To Termination Of Parental Rights Proceedings, Sarah Freeman

Hofstra Law Review

The increase in the number of incarcerated women, combined with the severe effects of ASFA's 15/22 rule, has dramatically increased the risk that a incarcerated mother face a termination of her parental rights.
