Exhaustion of Remedies

Exhaustion of remedies is a legal principle requiring individuals to first use all available administrative or internal procedures before seeking help from courts. Essentially, you must try resolving an issue through all the steps provided by a government agency or organization before filing a lawsuit. This ensures that agencies have the opportunity to address and resolve problems on their own, which can save time and resources for courts. It also allows agencies to correct issues internally, potentially avoiding unnecessary litigation. Only after these remedies are fully pursued and failed can judicial action be considered.
