Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The exhaustion of state and administrative remedies doctrine requires that Buffy first exhaust all available state and administrative remedies before proceeding with a lawsuit in federal court. Since Buffy wishes to immediately file suit without exhausting any remedies, this doctrine will affect her lawsuit. The primary jurisdiction doctrine and standing may also affect her lawsuit, but not as directly as exhaustion of state and administrative remedies.
