This article is about the lawsuit, Leonard v. Warner, that alleges that state officials violate the Americans with Disabilities Act and state anti-disability laws by refusing to allow foster children with disabilities to stay in foster care past their 18th birthday. The case was filed by the Publid Interest Law Project of Oakland, the Youth Law Center in San Francisco, and the Western Center on Law and Poverty in Los Angeles.
