Santosky v. Kramer

(

)

... that the Supreme Court ruled in Santosky v. Kramer that the burden of proof a state must exceed for terminating parental rights is clear and convincing evidence?

Comment: The anniversary of this ruling is March 24th, so it might be interesting to have it appear on the main page on that day.

Comment: Please forgive this incredibly nit-picky comment, but the Court didn't say that states must "exceed" the clear and convincing evidence standard. Rather, the Court held that States must support allegations by demonstrating "at least" clear and convincing evidence. Perhaps we can instead use this ALT hook:

ALT1: ... that the Supreme Court ruled in Santosky v. Kramer that states must demonstrate at least clear and convincing evidence before terminating parental rights?
