CBSN
Britney Spears scored a major victory this week in the fight to end her conservatorship when a judge approved her bid to hire her own legal counsel for the first time since 2008. Spears, 39, has called the legal arrangement abusive and now faces the tough task of convincing the judge she no longer needs conservators to manage her career and finances.
The pop star has promised to put her career on hold until her father, Jamie Spears, is removed from the conservatorship. Her new attorney, Mathew Rosengart, who worked as a federal prosecutor, must now prove to a Los Angeles judge that Spears is capable and healthy enough to oversee her medical decisions and estate. CBS News spoke to three legal experts on what lies ahead in the ongoing court case.More Related News
