Death penalty habeus fee caps in Florida:

"If 840 hours aren't enough a private attorney is free to work as long as it takes, without compensation."

"Any additional hours would fulfill pro bono requirements."

"It's not a cap on how much you work . . . It's a cap on how much you get paid. You have pride in your work. . . . I easily average 1,200 hours per case."

I'm for fiscal responsibility as much as the next guy but I must say that there is no way I'm going to - over and over again - be doing work wherein I'm required to "donate" 360 hours to "pro bono publico." Strikes me that it might get hard to pay the bills.
