Terms Used In Tennessee Code 49-50-401
- Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
Any public board of education or the board of trustees of the University of Tennessee, or any collegiate institution, is authorized to contract, subject to the approval of the governor, with the veterans’ administration, or other federal agencies, for instruction or supplies and equipment for the training of veterans or others in need of training in courses that the school, or those under the jurisdiction of such boards, may be qualified to offer. The contracts shall be upon terms that the governor and the appropriate governing body of the educational institution entering into the contract deem equitable.
