''See, e.g.'', ''Kinney v. Pioneer Press'', 881 F.2d 485, 490 n.3 (7th Cir. 1989)
The Ninth Circuit has an additional test for the preliminary injunction standard. It can be used simultaneously with the national standard test, or exclusively. The Ninth Circuit test evaluates two elements of the national test together along a continuum, requiring either a medium burden of proof for both, or a high burden for one, and a low burden for the other. The two possible constructions of the Ninth Circuit test are that either the plaintiff,
: (1) is likely to succeed on the merits, and will suffer irreparable injury without the injunction, or,
: (2) raises serious questions of law and fact, and the balance of hardships tips towards the plaintiff.

An injunction is improper if there is an adequate remedy at law, such as money damages. ''See, e.g.'', ''Scruggs v. Moellering'', 870 F.2d 376, 378 (7th Cir.), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 956 (1989).
