Justices to Focus on Paralegal Costs

Interesting article from the National Law Journal: "A small security business that waged a long and successful court battle with the federal government over back wages is asking the Supreme Court to hold that a federal law, enacted nearly 30 years ago, allows reimbursement of paralegal expenses at market rates and not at a law firm's cost. Attorney Brian Wolfman will argue before the high court that paralegal services should be considered "attorney fees" rather than "other expenses" for the purpose of reimbursement."
