National Law Journal yesterday reported on its compilation of legal fees that 26 states which unsuccessfully defended same-sex marriage bans have agreed to pay or been ordered by courts to pay to successful plaintiffs. They total more than $13.6 million (including the
later-reported $100,000 settlement with Montana)-- with 6 states each being required to pay over $1 million. The NLJ also published a
chart showing the award or settlement amount by case. Fee petitions are still pending in three states.
