The Arkansas Supreme Court has rejected a
request for additional fees from attorneys in the Lake View
school-funding lawsuit. The lawyers said they were due compensation
for work performed this year.
The court said that the proceedings after January first are
separate from the original case, filed in 1992. The court said the
issue of state immunity prevented the awarding of fees for this
year`s legal work.
The Supreme Court also noted that it had partly ruled on the
request in a March eleventh decision that rejected a motion from
lawyers Roy C. Lewellen of Marianna and Don Trimble of Little Rock
for additional costs and fees for work done in January.
