EXAMPLE: Tina files a lawsuit against Private University, claiming that the university has denied her admission because of her race. Before the case reaches the trial court Private admits Tina as a student. Because of the school’s actions, the case between Tina and Private is rendered moot. Tina can no longer claim that race was a factor in denying her admission, since she has been admitted.Source: Barron's Dictionary of Legal Terms, Steven H. Gifis, 5th Edition; ©
