Congress and the states have enacted numerous fees-shifting statutes to encourage lawyers to provide representation in public interest litigation. This important new book provides an in-depth examination of the history, process, and structure of these fees. Resulting from the author's work as co-lead counsel in two major pieces of attorneys' fees litigation, this essential guide builds upon the insights and perspective gained from extensive federal court civil rights practice and over twenty years of teaching and scholarship in constitutional law.
A key argument of this book is that the actual costs imposed by delay in payment of court-awarded attorneys' fees have not been fully appreciated by the courts or litigants. Focusing on the landmark case of Missouri v. Jenkins, Professor Lovell's book analyzes the true costs that delay in payment imposes on fee awards and shows the considerable problems courts have had in achieving the correct balance in the payment mechanisms used to compensate for these delays.
