(May 18, 2006)
U.S. Supreme Court
Education, Legal Representation: The issue presented
on this appeal is whether the United States Supreme Court's
controversial holding regarding attorney's fees in Buckhannon
Bd. & Care Home, Inc. v. W. Va. Dept. of Health & Human Serv.,1
applies to a "prevailing defendant"? If so, was the Appellant
here a "prevailing defendant"? The Second Circuit Court of Appeals
held that a "prevailing party" under the federal fee-shifting
statute is one who has achieved a judicially sanctioned change
in the legal relationship among the parties, such as a judgment
on the merits or a court-ordered consent decree, applies to
"prevailing defendant" cases and further held that plaintiff
here was not a prevailing defendant under this standard.
