The state is still on the hook for more than $11 million for lawyers who filed a lawsuit that led to dramatic changes in Georgia's foster care system. The full 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined Wednesday to rehear the state's appeal of U.S. District Judge Marvin Shoob's award of $10.5 million in attorney fees. At issue is whether Shoob correctly applied a $4.5 million enhancement on top of a $6 million award. The case could go to U.S. Supreme Court.
