Title: ATTORNEYS' FEES REIMBURSEMENT UNDER THE INDEPENDENT COUNSEL LAW
Authors: Jack Maskell, American Law Division 
Abstract: Although the Independent Counsel law expired on June 30, 1999, the provisions of the law remain in effect for those investigations which were still ongoing at the time of the law's expiration. Under the provisions of law which had governed the selection, duties, and responsibilities of an independent counsel, an individual who was a subject of an independent counsel investigation, and who was not indicted, could seek from the government the reimbursement of reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the individual during that investigation which he or she would not have incurred but for the provisions of the independent counsel law.
