Attorneys' Fees Reimbursement in Special Education Cases: Smith v. Robinson.
Luckasson, Ruth A.
Exceptional Children, v52 n4 p384-89 Jan 1986

Reliance of parents private enforcement and difficulties inherent in pursuing administrative and legal remedies without legal training suggest that Congress intended that reimbursement of attorneys' fees be available.
