Every week, I get a summary of new appellate cases that affect my area of practice: Family Law, which includes everything from Divorce to Custody to Property Divisions, etc. The initial blurb is just a snippet so that I can decide whether I want to go look at the appellate court's decision in full.
Today, the report of a decision called In re Corinne W. , from last week, says that the law doesn't require a County Bureau of Children and Family Services to pay for a foster child's car insurance. I don't even want to think about the legal arguments suggesting otherwise, so I'll pretend I didn't read this - maybe it should go to my Nutz and Screws Blog when I start it.
I suppose next we'll see a court tell us that the taxpayer doesn't have to pay for iPods for children in foster care.
