Talk:Law of the case

"[T]he term may [also] refer to the discretion that a district court has to adhere to its own legal rulings made at an earlier stage of the same case. The district court's earlier rulings are not binding, however, because Rule 54(b) of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure allows the district court to reconsider and revise its earlier rulings at any time before the entry of judgment." http://www.varnumlaw.com/blogs/western-michigan-federal-courts/what-exactly-is-the-law-of-the-case-doctrine/ Shin 9:36, 22 September 2014
