Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Colorado law permits courts to join certain non-parents as parties in child welfare cases as “special respondents,” even without their consent, which requires their participation in such cases and compliance with court orders. The question presented is: Can the Colorado appellate courts constitutionally deny such special respondents the right to appeal adverse judgments?
