Montana Supreme Court Denies Krakauer Attorney Fees
The Montana Supreme Court has denied author Jon Krakauer’s attempt to have the Montana University System pay his attorney fees for his successful attempt to access redacted student records of former Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson.
Krakauer is the author of ‘Missoula, Rape and the Justice System in a College Town’.
In a decision released on Wednesday, May 16, the court explained that Commissioner of Higher Education Clay Christian challenged Krakauer’s right-to-know request because he wished to preserve another fundamental right, that being the right of privacy of students attending the University of Montana.
