In common lawlegal systems, a precedent or authority is a principle or rule established in a previous legal case that is either binding on or persuasive for a court or other tribunal when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts. Common law legal systems place great value on deciding cases according to consistent principled rules so that similar facts will yield similar and predictable outcomes, and observance of precedent is the mechanism by which that goal is attained. Black's Law Dictionary defines "precedent" as a "rule of law established for the first time by a court for a particular type of case and thereafter referred to in deciding similar cases."Common law precedent is a third kind of law, on equal footing with statutory law (statutes and codes enacted by legislative bodies), and Delegated legislation (in U.K. parlance) or regulatory law (in U.S. parlance) (regulations promulgated by executive branch agencies).
Case law or common law is the set of decisions of adjudicatory tribunals that can be cited as precedent. In most countries, including most European countries, the term is applied to any set of rulings on law which is guided by previous rulings, for example, previous decisions of a government agency.

What is Legal "Precedent"?
Today we’ll look at the definition of precedent, an important concept in understanding how the law works.
Precedent refers to a court decision that is considered as authority for deciding future cases involving identical or similar facts and similar legal issues. The goal is to ensure that people in similar situations are treated the same.
If the facts or issues of a case differ from those in a previous case, the previous case can not be “binding” precedent.
The Supreme Court has said that “questions which merely lurk on the record, neither brought to the attention of the court nor ruled upon, are not to be considered as precedent”
Therefore, a prior decision serves as precedent only for issues and facts that the court explicitly considered in reaching its decision. That is a critica...

Therefore, a prior decision serves as precedent only for issues and facts that the court explicitly considered in reaching its decision. That is a critical point.
Related…Just because a court ‘says’ something in an opinion does not make it binding precedent. The precedent is limited to the specific facts and issues decided in the case.
And when there is precedent it is only for lower courts in the “chain of command” of the precedent setting court. For example, the Supreme Court of Texas does not have to follow the Supreme Court of Florida but both have to follow the US Supreme court.
Likewise, a federal district court in Alabama, does not need to follow a federal district court in Wyoming, as they are located in different federal circuits. We’ll talk more about the federal court systems in a future episode. For now, lets remember that precedent is important but it may also have limitations depending on the court rendering the decision.
