Download or read book Defining North Carolina s Public Records and Open Meetings Fee Shifting Provisions in the Larger National Context written by Elliot Engstrom and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North Carolina's Public Records and Open Meetings laws both provide for awards of attorney's fees in certain situations. The Public Records law awards fees to a plaintiff who “substantially prevails” and a government defendant who is sued in bad faith or on a frivolous basis. The Open Meetings law awards fees to any party that “prevails.” These fee awards act as an incentive (or disincentive) for litigants to pursue these “open government” cases. Such awards are the exception to the general North Carolina rule that a party bears the burden of paying its own attorney's fees.There is very limited appellate case law interpreting when a party should receive such an award of attorney's fees. This limited case law is exacerbated by the recent modification of the plaintiffs' fee-shifting provision in the Public Records law.While appellate treatment of this issue is limited, there is a larger body of trial court decisions and persuasive case law on point. There are also materially similar fee-shifting provisions elsewhere in the North Carolina General Statutes that can provide guidance on how North Carolina courts treat fee shifting. This Article examines these and other sources in pursuit of a better understanding of when a plaintiff or defendant in an open government case might expect to receive an award of attorney's fees and, when appropriate, makes recommendations about how courts and practitioners should treat these provisions moving forward.

This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in its fourth edition, this book provides city councils with model procedural rules for their meetings. The model rules cover, among many other topics, the organizational meeting, pertinent requirements of the open meetings law, the role of the presiding officer, agenda preparation and approval, substantive and procedural motions, voting rules, ordinance adoption, public hearings, and public comment periods. Legal and practical issues are analyzed in the comments that follow each rule. The fourth edition differs from prior editions in important ways. It incorporates significant statutory changes that have occurred since a revised version of the third edition was published in 2007. Both the rules themselves and the comments have undergone extensive modifications in an effort to make the book even more useful to municipal governing boards. New appendixes include tables showing the numbers of members necessary to establish a quorum and the number of votes required to adopt an ordinance or approve a contract. This book is a must for council members, city managers and administrators, city clerks, and city attorneys. Anyone with a general interest in local government or parliamentary procedure will also want a copy. BONUS FEATURE: Upon purchasing this book, the buyer will receive an electronic version of the book's procedural rules that can be customized to fit a particular council's specific needs.
