Summary
The Supreme Court of Alabama denied Jefferson County Department of Human Resources' petition for a writ of certiorari seeking review of the Court of Civil Appeals' decision on a parental‑rights termination. The Court held that it would not impose a rule requiring the appellate court to affirm a juvenile court judgment when the appellate court lacks confidence in the judgment’s propriety. The denial was based on the Court’s view that the petition raised no compelling reason to intervene.
