What does 'the law of the case' mean?
The "law of the case" is a situation where an appellate court has made a determination on a question of law and remanded the case for retrial. If the case comes before the appellate court again after retrial, the point of law determined by the first appellate court may not be appealed again. An appellant does not get to reopen that issue just because the case is once again before an appellate court. That point of law is now the "law of the case" and will govern the case throughout any and all further appeals that may occur. There may be compelling circumstances where a court may permit the issue to be reopened, such as where the initial determination rested on a law later found to be unconstitutional and void.
