May 23, 2007 Full PDF
Litigation partners Marty Flumenbaum and Brad Karp's "Second Circuit Review" column appeared in the May 23 issue of the New York Law Journal. The article reports on the decision in Arbor Hill Concerned Citizens Neighborhood Association v. County of Albany, in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit streamlined the analysis a district court is required to conduct in determining an appropriate attorney's fee award. Judge John M. Walker Jr. authored the decision, in which retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, sitting by designation, and Chief Judge Dennis G. Jacobs joined. Litigation associate Nili Moghaddam assisted in the preparation of this column.
