STATE COURT CASES

ATTORNEY/CLIENT — ATTORNEYS’ FEES

04-2-9976 In the Matter of Cassidy, Kean University, App. Div. (per curiam) (2 pp.) In this appeal, the appellate panel affirms an order awarding counsel fees to appellant, who was reinstated to his position as a security officer at Kean University after the Civil Service Commission (CSC) reversed his removal. As the prevailing party, Cassidy was entitled to counsel fees. The panel rejects appellant’s argument that CSC misapplied the rule governing the award of counsel fees, because the fee awarded by the CSC does not reflect the skill and experience of his attorney required to prevail and gain reinstatement.
