¶2 It is ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the proposed amendments to the Oklahoma Uniform Civil Jury Instructions for Juvenile Cases as modified by this Court are adopted, and the Oklahoma Uniform Civil Jury Instructions for Juvenile Cases with the amendments as modified by this Court are attached hereto. The Court also accepts and authorizes the updated committee comments and user notes to be published with the amendments.
