This volume summarizes selected judicial decisions of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals from May 1988 to September 5, 1990, focusing mainly on cases in which West Virginia Public Defender Services is authorized to provide services.
Abstract
Thus, the cases include criminal, juvenile, abuse and neglect, paternity, contempt, and mental health issues. Legal ethics cases and administrative appeals relating to cases of driving under the influence are also included, because many of the issues raised in these cases are applicable to criminal matters. The summaries aim to follow the language of the court. The cases are cross-indexed throughout the volume according to the issues discussed by the court.
