Section 89-1-8 - Child abuse and neglect8.1. Priority in the payment of compensation is provided for legal representation in child abuse and neglect proceedings.8.2. Priority in payment is achieved by permitting panel attorneys providing legal representation in child abuse and neglect proceedings to submit vouchers after each dispositional hearing held in the matter, without regard to the number of such vouchers that are eventually submitted. If a voucher is submitted after a dispositional hearing, the panel attorney must submit all time expended before the date of the submission. A subsequent voucher cannot have dates of service included that could have been included in the interim voucher. Subsequent vouchers including dates of services that precede the last date of service in an interim voucher will be reduced by the amount of compensation requested for those services.
