Britney Spears: Will Wednesday’s Hearing Spell the Beginning of the End of Her Conservatorship?
A judge’s ruling in her favor on Wednesday would be like “saying that the circumstances that require the conservatorship no longer exist,” a lawyer tells TheWrap

Britney Spears’ conservatorship battle will once again head to court on Wednesday, where a judge could grant the singer’s request to hire an attorney of her choosing. And doing so would mark a death blow to the conservatorship, according to two lawyers who spoke to TheWrap.
“Everything Britney set in motion, she accelerated all of these issues to come to a head tomorrow,” Benny Roshan from Greenberg Glusker told TheWrap. “By allowing Britney to choose her own counsel, are we saying she has regained her capacity to enter a contract, which is something the conservatorship says she is not in a capacity to do? It will be an interesting hearing tomorrow to see what the court does. If Judge Brenda Penny approves the appointment of a new attorney, she is indirectly saying that the circumstances that require the conservatorship no longer exist.”
