Yoda · Answer 1

Precedent is a judge studying past cases for similarities to the current case. Precedent is a well used form of judicating a case. It has been used through out history in many cultures.

Brandon Ferguson · Answer 2

The correct answer is: studying past cases for similarities to the current case. The judges are obliged to respect the precedents, when in solving a case, they find legal similarities. The appropriate scheme for a judge's opinion on a case is: describe the facts of the case, describe the judicial opinion, analyze the law and apply the precedent.
