Terms Used In North Dakota Code 15-20.2-05
- 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
- State: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories. See North Dakota Code 1-01-49
2. If a center board is comprised of twenty or more members, the boards of those school districts may create a representative board with equitable representation from the school districts and shall submit the representative board for approval by the state board under section 15-20.2-02. A majority of the representative board must be school board members.
