State ex rel. Burch v. Sheffield-Sheffield Lake City School District Board of Education

Burch asserts that the court of appeals erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the board and denying the requested writ of •mandamus. In order to be entitled to a writ of mandamus, Burch had to establish (1) a clear legal right to the requested back pay and related benefits, (2) a corresponding clear legal duty on the part of the board to grant her request for back pay and associated benefits, and (3) the lack of an adequate remedy in the ordinary course of the law.
