March 1, 2010226 P.3d 1054

Summary

Justice Eid dissented from the majority's conclusion that appointed counsel must continue representing indigent parents on an appeal counsel believes is wholly frivolous. The dissent reasoned that counsel must proceed when an appeal merely lacks merit, but must be permitted to seek withdrawal when no good-faith legal or factual argument can support it. Justice Rice joined the dissent.
