Linnea W. v. Matthew P.
Paid petition · Court of Appeals of New York, No. 2024-237 · judgment June 20, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.
Questions presented
-
May a state court elect to contravene its own state laws, which explicitly require the award of legal fees and representation of counsel, in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments?
-
May state courts unconstitutionally intrude upon the role of the State legislature by arbitrarily dispelling the State’s own laws and prevailing rulings that require an award of legal fees to obtain counsel in custody trials and the right to counsel?
