"Baby Ludi" custody case

The "Baby Ludi" custody case was a dispute between the Jedi Council and Jonava Billane over the custody of Aris-Del Wari, a Jedi youngling in the months before the Clone Wars.

Background
After the worldquake of Ord Thoden, a team of Jedi rescue workers found the Force-sensitive child in the ruins of the Ord Thoden capital Domitree. Presuming the child's parents to be dead, The Jedi named the child Aris-Del Wari and decided to train her in the ways of the Force.

When Jonava Billane had recovered and learned the the child had survived, she traveled to Coruscant in order to reunite with her daughter.

The Case
Jonava Billane petitioned to be reunited with Baby Ludi. However, the Jedi Council rejected her petition arguing that they would not give her back her child - now named "Aris-Del Wari" - because it was too dangerous now that its mind had been opened to the Force.

The case went public, gaining her many supporters galaxywide. She would eventually appear on the Eriadu-based talkshow Essence to tell her story. Her particular episode was seen by over 25 billion sentient viewers and gained her much support. During the show she broke into tears four times, gaining even more sympathy galaxywide than before. She thanked all her supporters and also revealed that she had authorized a full-length holo feature based on her story.

Jonava seemed to eventually lose interest in the case focussing more on the holo feature that would tell the story of her and "Baby Ludi". When Ludi was moved to the Jedi Academy on Kamparas, Jonava was too busy reviewing casting auditions for the holo feature to comment on it publicly.

Aftermath
The Case of "Baby Ludi" sparked considerable anti-Jedi feelings throuthout the galaxy.
