Due to time and scheduling constraints, ethical considerations, the merits of the case and similar concerns, the decision whether to represent a student in filing or defending a lawsuit remains with the attorney. The student must also pay all costs of the action, including but not limited to those set forth in Kan. Stat. 60-2001 and amendments thereto, and other statutes, such as the docket fee, witness fees, appraiser's fees, fees for service of process outside the state, fees for depositions, alternative dispute resolution fees, transcripts and publication, statutory attorneys' fees, and court costs from other courts. 537-2943 Services are free if a client's income and assets meet guidelines and the case is the type accepted.
Some clients qualify for reduced fees.
