Costanich v. State

This court case is completed

The Washington Supreme Court ruled that the state's Equal Access to Justice Act allows the awarding of attorney fees at each level of judicial review. It agreed with a friend-of-the court brief submitted by the ACLU, the Northwest Justice Project, and the Northwest Women's Law Center. The high court's ruling ensures that the Act will work as intended – to help people seeking legal redress who might otherwise be deterred by the cost of litigation.
