Britney Spears One Step Closer To Terminating Conservatorship

A judge just granted the pop star the ability to choose her own lawyer after her previous court-appointed attorney resigned.

Britney Spears is one step closer to ending her conservatorship and regaining her personal freedom. A judge just granted the pop star the ability to choose her own lawyer after her previous court-appointed attorney Samuel Ingham resigned earlier this month.  Hollywood attorney Mathew Rosengart attended the latest hearing to take over as Spears’ lawyer. He had been in talks with the musician for the past couple days, and a source told the New York Times that he would “take a more aggressive approach” to terminate the conservatorship.  Sarah Hooper, Executive Director of UC Hastings Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy: "If there are genuine concerns about her ability to manage her affairs on her own, the judge may be hesitant to simply terminate the conservatorship without other different better supports in place."
