cleanup doctrine

Read a random definition: legacy duty

A quick definition of cleanup doctrine:

Cleanup Doctrine: This is a rule that says when a special court called an equity court takes control of a case, it can make decisions about both fair and legal issues as long as the legal issues are related to the fair ones.

A more thorough explanation:

The cleanup doctrine is a legal principle that allows a court to decide both equitable and legal issues in a case, as long as the legal issues are related to the equitable ones. This means that once a court has jurisdiction over a case, it can address any legal issues that are necessary to fully resolve the case.

For example, let's say that a person is suing their employer for wrongful termination. The person may also have a legal claim for unpaid wages. If the court has jurisdiction over the wrongful termination claim, it can also address the unpaid wages claim, even though it is a legal issue.

Another example could be a case involving a dispute over property ownership. If the court has jurisdiction over the dispute, it can also address any legal issues related to the property, such as outstanding mortgages or liens.

These examples illustrate how the cleanup doctrine allows a court to fully resolve a case by addressing both equitable and legal issues that are related to each other. This helps to ensure that all relevant issues are addressed and that the parties involved receive a fair and just outcome.

Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
