A judge who was placed under strict orders to complete long-overdue decisions affecting the future of children in state care has complied, but may not yet be in the clear.

Curtissa Cofield, a juvenile court judge, was ordered last month to complete decisions affecting 10 children in foster care limbo. She has done so, according to the Reporter of Judicial Decisions. Department of Children and Families Commissioner Joette Katz, herself a former Supreme Court justice, requested assistance from her former colleagues on the high court to order Cofield to act.
