Title 42 U. S. C. ? 1988 provides that in federal civil rights actions "the court, in its discretion, may allow the prevailing party, other than the United States, a reasonable attorneys fee as part of the costs." The issue in this case is whether a partially prevailing plaintiff may recover an attorneys fee for legal services on unsuccessful claims.
