Alaska Supreme Court
Law Project for Psychiatric Rights, Inc., an Alaskan Non-Profit Corporation, Appellant v. State of Alaska…
October 1, 20102010 Alas. LEXIS 105
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of the public-interest law firm's action because the firm lacked standing to assert minors' individual constitutional rights through citizen-taxpayer standing. It also upheld the stay of discovery because the firm's argument that discovery was necessary to establish standing was not preserved, and it upheld the partial attorney-fee award because the superior court acted within its discretion under the applicable fee rule. No separate opinions were provided.
