A team of lawyers from New Hampshire Legal Assistance, asked the federal court in Concord to order the State of New Hampshire to reform its child protection system, as the state had agreed 5 1/2 years ago. In a lawsuit known as Eric L. ,the lawyers represent a class of children who have been abused or neglected. The suit was brought against the state Division of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). In a motion filed in court on January 16, 2003, the plaintiffs asked the court to find that DCYF has failed to comply with a settlement agreement entered into in 1997. Plaintiffs are asking the court to order the state to take prompt action to bring itself into compliance with its legal obligations. A press release explaining today's legal action is available by clicking the link below. The motion itself, and a memorandum of law filed in support are also available below.
