Page 43: Week 1 Introduction · 2017-12-31 · Week 1 – Introduction 5:30 Today’s agenda Class survey Consumer attorneys 6:00 Break Consumer cases Consumer themes 7:00 Break Class grading

The American Rule

■ Under the American rule, each party pays its own attorney fees

■ A contingency fee means a lawyer is paid only if they win

■ A contingency fee is usually a fixed percent of the total recovery

Fee Shifting Statutes

■ A fee shifting statute is an exception to the American rule

■ Congress shifts fees to encourage private enforcement of consumer protection laws

■ States shift fees to encourage settlement of certain small tort claims

■ Judges shift fees as sanctions for bad faith conduct and rule violations
