Celebrity Justice
Brit Takes It In the End

Posted Apr 17th 2008 5:25PM by TMZ Staff

The commissioner in the Britney Spears conservatorship case has just ordered that a sh*tload of fees be paid to various lawyers in the case -- and Brit, of course, will foot the bill.
Britney Spears/Click to launch documents!
The Commish has ordered that court-appointed lawyer Sam Ingham can get up to $10,000 a week through July 31. What the hell is wrong with hiring Jacoby and Meyers?

But that's just the beginning. Andrew Wallet, a co-conservator, just got the green light for up to $100,000. And the Luce Forward law firm will get up to $175,000, and that's just for their work through March 31.

Clark Byam, another attorney, will get $22,500. Stacy Phillips, the lawyer repping Brit in the family law case, will get up to $75,000 for work through March 31.

And Brit pays it all. Ding dang, y'all. Where's Shakespeare when ya need him?

91. Kelli, how big is the hail? I work with Skywarn (storm chasers) and find sever weather fascinating. We don't get much more than blizzards here. Radar is dopplering in the purple out your way, even worse than the usual red. Stay safe. I'd miss you if you disappeared off here. BTW posted to you on Dita.

Go Sox

94. Hey Daddy Dearest, guess your no f---in help. Me thinks Britney knew that all the time. Yep , they all want a piece of her. I sincerely hopes she gets thru all this ( with her childre too ) and can turn around and give them all " THE FICKLE FINGER OF FATE".

98. Baseball Junkie (go Sox! -- Red Sox, of course) and jr: Thanks for the defense. You recognize the different content and writing style, of course. I'm here just like everyone else, because of the voyeurism in looking at the lifestyles of the rich and famous. My interest is the legal aspects, got hooked last fall when Brit was blowing off court orders and I was astonished that she didn't grasp the consequences of her acts. I think she now appreciates the enormous power that courts hold.

Of subject, but for those of you who are interested in hearing a real case argued, I found a cool website that allows visitors to listen to a case being argued before the United States Supreme Court. If you've never had the opportunity to visit the Supreme Court on a day it is in session, this offers a chance to glimpse the judicial process -- the give-and-take between the justices and the attorneys as they test the limits of the Constitution. Anyway, the case I was listening to, Troxel v. Granville, involves the question whether a state law granting grandparents the right to sue for court-ordered visitation with their grandchildren is constitutional or whether it violates the parent's fundamental right to raise children without interference. The link can be accessed from

Click on the link for "Oral Argument" to hear the case, or follow the link for "Written Opinion" to learn how the case was decided.

99. BJ, I knew that. Someone has obviously forgotten to take their medication. We all have been "impostered" but we all know who we are.

I guess I have a person who "doesn't care" for me to say the least.
