: SCOTUSBLOGArgument preview: What showing is required for declaratory relief and attorney?s fees?
By Anna Christensen
On Tuesday, in Los Angeles County v. Humphries, the Court will hear oral argument regarding whether a plaintiff who seeks declaratory relief for the violation of his rights by a local government entity must show that the violation resulted from a government policy, and whether the plaintiff can be a “prevailing party” for purposes of receiving attorney’s fees under federal civil rights laws if he cannot make such a showing. Steven D. Schwinn of the John Marshall Law School previews the case for the American Bar Association?s PREVIEW of U.S. Supreme Court Cases; the ABA has generously agreed to share some of its previews ? which are authored by practitioners and scholars in the field ? with SCOTUSblog. You can read Professor Schwinn?s preview here; PREVIEW?s website is here.
