A quick definition of federal-comity doctrine:

The federal-comity doctrine is a rule that says federal district courts should not get involved in each other's business. This means that if one court is already handling a case, another court should not interfere or try to take over. It's like when you're playing a game with your friends and someone else tries to join in, but you already have enough players. The federal-comity doctrine helps keep things fair and organized in the legal system.

A more thorough explanation:

The Federal-Comity Doctrine is a principle that requires federal district courts to avoid interfering in each other's affairs. This means that if a case is already being heard in one federal district court, another court should not intervene or take over the case.

For example, if a case involving a dispute between two parties is already being heard in a federal district court in New York, another federal district court in California should not take over the case or interfere with the proceedings. This is because the federal-comity doctrine requires courts to respect each other's jurisdiction and avoid unnecessary conflicts.

Another example could be a case involving a federal agency that is being heard in a federal district court in Washington D.C. If another federal district court in Texas receives a similar case, it should not interfere with the proceedings in Washington D.C. and should instead allow the court to handle the case.

The federal-comity doctrine is important because it helps to maintain order and consistency in the federal court system. By respecting each other's jurisdiction, federal district courts can avoid unnecessary conflicts and ensure that cases are handled efficiently and fairly.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
