This page groups a legal doctrine by where it sits within the wider body of doctrine that contains it. Wikipedia describes a legal doctrine as "a framework, set of rules, test, or procedural steps" through which judgments in a given legal case can be determined, and many doctrines build directly on an earlier, broader one. Browsing this way moves between a doctrine and the related doctrines nearby.
