Good law
Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. In re J.P.B. is good law: all 96 flagged citations have been read, and no adverse treatment was confirmed. The citing opinions consistently applied the case's clear-and-convincing legal-sufficiency framework or its abuse-of-discretion standard for evidentiary rulings.
More on how this was screened

Nearby “overruled” language disposed of litigants' appellate issues, objections, or motions; the one supersession phrase described unrelated authority. No opinion criticized, confined, displaced, or declined to follow In re J.P.B. The three later opinions applied its legal-sufficiency or evidence-authentication rules.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

1,968 later cases cite In re J.P.B.; 96 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

No reviewed court has overruled or limited this case.

Every one of the 96 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
