Since Jarndyce v. Jarndyce,1 there have been charges that some cases benefit the lawyers more than the clients. But suits cannot be maintained solely for the attorney's fees; a client must gain something before attorney's fees can be awarded.

In this case, we must examine the nature of a nominal damages award, and whether there is a maximum limitation on the dollar amount that can be considered nominal damages. We do so in the context of a claim that appellants and cross-appellees Erin and Norma Brown trespassed on property owned by Grace and Viola Smith, appellees and cross-appellants, by traveling over a farm lane to access a public
