ACUS Announces Report and Database on Fiscal Year 2024 Attorney’s Fee Awards Under the Equal Access to Justice Act

Excerpt:  “The Administrative Conference of the United States (ACUS) is pleased to announce the release of a new report and updated online database compiling attorneys’ fee awards made in fiscal year 2024 under the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA).  EAJA requires federal agencies to reimburse private litigants for their attorneys’ fees when they prevail against agencies in certain adjudications and federal-court cases. Since March 2019, ACUS has been responsible for reporting the amount of EAJA fees agencies award to prevailing parties each fiscal year (5 U.S.C. § 504, 28 U.S.C. § 2412).”
