Two law firms in the Archdiocese of Agana's two-year-old bankruptcy case reduced their legal fees by $2,162.50, ahead of a court hearing on the latest interim fee applications.

The fourth interim fee applications from law firms now amount to about $478,400.

The archdiocese's bankruptcy marks its second year this month. The Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is aimed at reorganizing the church's finances, and compensating nearly 300 Guam clergy sex abuse survivors while also keeping all Catholic schools and parishes open.
