Res Judicata - Civil Trial

The video explains a civil concept similar to double jeopardy in criminal law. Once a legal matter is fully decided, including the exhaustion of all appellant rights, it cannot be retried. Parties must bring all related causes of action in the original trial, or they lose the right to do so later. This concept protects defendants from facing multiple lawsuits for the same conduct.
