Supreme Court of the United States

Kansas v. Colorado

March 9, 2009556 U.S. 98

Summary

The Court overruled Kansas' exception to the Special Master's report, holding that expert witness attendance fees in original jurisdiction cases are limited by 28 U.S.C. §1821(b). The Court reasoned that even if it has discretion to set fees, a uniform rule applying to all federal cases is appropriate.
