What the court decided
The legal issue involved whether the juvenile court properly determined the mother's right to an out-of-time appeal based on ineffective assistance of counsel. The Georgia Court of Appeals held that the juvenile court failed to make the required preliminary finding regarding the mother's entitlement to counsel, and thus vacated the judgment and remanded with direction.
