NY lawyer gets paid $1.50 for civil rights victory

Attorney Harrison Williams should have made $75,000 for work he did on behalf of a prisoner who filed a lawsuit. Instead, an appeals court ruled, he earned $1.50.

The prisoner, who claimed he had his religious rights violated when his dreadlocks were touched, was awarded one dollar.

Williams said the Nov. 15 ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan may discourage lawyers
