| | Precedent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | However, courts go to great lengths to distinguish the current case--thereby limiting the scope of the precedent--rather than overturning the previous decision. | | | Precedent, sometimes authority, is the legal principle or rule created by a court which guides judges in subsequent cases with similar issues or facts. | | | Reliance on precedent is sometimes attacked as the logical fallacy of argument from authority. |

| | Topics covered include identification of precedent rules, preconditions for authority, decision-making in the absence of a precedent rule, and overruling. | | | Given that judges are not perfect reasoners, the best approach to precedent is one that treats rules established in prior decisions as authoritative for later judges. | | | A rule-based model is also superior to several popular attempts at compromise, which call on judges to reason from the results of prior cases or from principles immanent in the body of precedent. |

| | Edward Whelan on John Roberts & Abortion on National Review Online |
| | Roberts's phrasing cleverly obscured the point that it is far easier to go over two hurdles in succession than over a wall that is the height of the two hurdles combined. | | | The first hurdle — overturning Casey as a precedent for applying principles of stare decisis to Roe — is easily cleared: The principles of stare decisis invoked in Casey were contrived for that case and are in conflict with the Court's other precedents on precedent (such as Lawrence v. | | | What seems not to have been noticed is that Roberts in fact deftly repudiated Specter's notion that Roe is some sort of "super-duper precedent" entitled to "super stare decisis." In so doing, he marked the path for the eventual overruling of Roe. |

| | Legal Definition of Precedent |
| | To render precedents valid they must be founded in reason and justice; must have been made upon argument, and be the solemn decision of the court; and in order to give them binding effect there must be a current of decisions. | | | As a practical matter, courts can usually find precedent for any direction they want to go in deciding a particular case. | | | If a precedent is to be followed because it is a precedent, even when decided against an established rule of law, there can be no possible correction of abuses because the fact of their existence renders them above the law. |
