2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“The [Declaratory Judgment Act] does conflict with a federal policy, the “American Rule” that “parties are ordinarily required to bear their own attorney’s fees.”... In light of the American Rule, generally applied in federal court, we have been instructed that state law does not always control the issue of attorney’s fees. See Chambers, 501 U.S. at 51-52 , 111 S.Ct. 2123 . Rather, we are to apply state attorney’s fee law only when it “embodfies] a substantive policy.” Id. at 52 , 111 S.Ct. 2123 . The DJA does not represent “substantive policy5’ under Chambers . The Supreme Court explained in Chambers that substantive fee-shifting statutes include those “which permit[ ] a prevailing party in certain classes of litigation to recover fees.” Id.”
