How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that “section 403 itself constitutes a recognition of the special role of nonattorney practitioners who practice before the Court”
• holding $120 “ ‘reasonable’ and ‘appropriate’ based on [Mr. Stewart’s] reputation, skill, and special expertise and qualifications as an experienced advocate in veterans law”
• holding Court empowered to award fees “in an amount determined appropriate” for the work of nonattorney practitioners; finding the $120-per-hour rate requested there appropriate for Mr. Stewart, the same nonattorney practitioner whose hourly fee is disputed here
