Appellate Decisions Released April 26, 2006
The Wisconsin Supreme Court did not release any opinions or dispositional orders on April 26, 2006.
The Wisconsin Court of Appeals released these opinions on April 26, 2006, of which the following was recommended for publication:
Dane Co. DHS v. Susan P.S. (4 cases). This was a termination of parental rights case, and the issue on appeal was whether the Circuit Court inappropriately denied the mother the right to represent herself in the termination proceedings. In affirming the Circuit Court's order for the standby counsel to take over the mother's representation, the Court held that the proper standard for determining competency to represent oneself in such proceedings is the same as in criminal proceedings.
