Preferred term

declaratory judgments  

Definition(s)

  • Ruling in which a federal court sets forth the duties, rights, obligations and status of parties to a lawsuit without ordering any action or awarding damages to either party. A declaratory judgment is considered a less severe form of an injunction, which is an order compelling a party to discontinue an activity that causes harm that cannot be remedied by a lawsuit. [Source: Student's Guide to the Supreme Court; Declaratory Judgments]
