Richardson v. Omaha School District

Pending petition
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
20-402 8th Cir. TBD TBD TBD TBD TBD

Issue: Whether, for attorneys’ fees actions under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, courts should borrow years-long state statutes of limitations because fees actions are analogous to independent lawsuits separate from the underlying merits of the IDEA administrative proceedings, or, in contrast, courts should borrow far shorter periods designed for judicial review of IDEA administrative merits decisions because fees actions are merely ancillary to the underlying educational dispute.
