Conservation of Judicial Resources

In the law, I believe there isa theory that we should conserve judicial resources by not allowing the same case to travel up different courts. This theory is known as the conservation of judicial resources.

This morning Jack is challenging the validity of this theory.

He is loudly protesting the removal of a piece of painters' tape from his grubby little hands (as his hand was headed toward his mouth).

He has failed in his appeal to the Court of Benevolent Grandparents.

He is now forum-shopping and is looking at a simultaneous case with the District Court of the Other Daddy. (Jack and I are in Birmingham extending the Thanksgiving holidays, while Jeff had to go back to DC.)

I explained to Jack that comity interests were sure to submarine his chances. He is undeterred.

Sorry for the rambling. It was a long day yesterday!
