The Indian Child Welfare Act Handbook
If you are a caseworker or attorney working in juvenile cases, this is a book that you should probably read. The Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) applies to juvenile cases involving Indian children. There are a whole series of additional requirements that need to be met in these cases, and it is important to have a handle on them before one of these cases starts. I’d read both of the previous versions of this book, but wanted to refresh my memory and update my understanding, after some recent cases came out, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) adopted regulations in place of the guidelines that had been in effect for decades before.
