Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a board of supervisors lacks ability to retain outside counsel to perform a county attorney’s duties unless the county attorney refuses to act, is incapable of doing so, or is unavailable
• concluding justiciable controversy requires existence of parties with “a real interest in the questions to be resolved”
• suggesting that the board should not unnecessarily put county to expense of extra counsel but “in any event, it is a matter in which their judgment and discretion is not open to review by the courts”
