EP 7, Equality-First in Time

EP 7 is live—and we’re walking straight into the machinery of equity. In hour one we unpack two foundational maxims from Murray F.

National Surety Co., this episode shows why equity courts care about substance over form, notice, and clean hands—and why “special deposit” versus “general fund” can decide everything.
