Recommendation #47 To: Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento

To strengthen its processes related to minor’s counsel fees, the Sacramento superior and family courts should make certain that accounting follows the appropriate court policy when reviewing minor’s counsel costs and that accounting does not pay costs that the policy does not allow.

The Sacramento superior and family courts stated that the accounting staff continue to follow the court policy so that only costs permitted by that policy are paid. (See 2013-406, p. 162)
