: Kentucky Law BlogCIVIL CASES: "ACLU seeks $400,000 for Ten Commandments cases"
By Michael Stevens
From Herald leader, Kentucky.com:
A long legal fight over courthouse displays of the Ten Commandments could cost two Southern Kentucky counties nearly $400,000.
In a motion filed this week, attorneys with the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky requested fees of $390,588 for representing people who challenged the displays in the halls of the Pulaski and McCreary County courthouses, plus $8,133 in expenses.
The request comes after the ACLU won its request for an injunction barring the displays. Congress approved rules decades ago under which the losers in civil-rights cases must pay the legal fees of the winners.
The goal was to make it possible for citizens and attorneys to pursue potentially expensive lawsuits to defend civil rights and uphold constitutional principles when government doesn't do the right thing, said David A. Friedman, the lead attorney for the ACLU on the case.
