Arizona Supreme Court on ICWA Burdens of Proof

Here is the opinion in Valerie M. v. Arizona Dept. of Economic Security.

An excerpt:

In this termination case governed by ICWA, the juvenile court did not err by instructing the jury that the state-law grounds for termination must be proved by clear and convincing evidence and that the Indian child’s best interests must be proved by a preponderance of the evidence. We affirm the opinion of the court of appeals.
