Mini-LMTs for Remedial Law
1️⃣ The SC is not a trier of facts.
2️⃣ Even if the court has original jurisdiction, it must follow the hierarchy of courts.
3️⃣ Courts do not acquire jurisdiction unless admin remedies are exhausted.
4️⃣ Rule 65 against a judgment is not available if no MR was filed
5️⃣ An accused may appear before the court for the sole purpose of questioning its jurisdiction (ad cautelam).
6️⃣ If the duty is discretionary, mandamus is not a remedy.
