Terms Used In Indiana Code > Title 8 > Article 23 > Chapter 7 - Real Property Transactions

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
