Legal Issues

Five types of existing or potential federal or state legal issues for which little or no stare

decisis presently exist.

 Criminal cases are precedents because criminal encounters vary and are carried out by

persons with varying purposes; hence, their judgment should differ and cannot be

founded on a stare decisis.

 Furthermore, the reasons for contractual arrangement termination vary since the

agreements do not contain equivalent terms and rules that bind the affected parties. Real
 2

estate matters require various methodologies because the business is changing

considerably depending on investment and interest.

 These cases cannot be resolved using stare decisis. Furthermore, workers' compensation

issues should be determined following the terms and conditions agreed upon by an

employee and an employer, rendering stare decisis irrelevant in such circumstances.

Precedent is essential in the judicial process since it guarantees legal certainty.

 People may organize their business and reach agreements with more trust when the result

of a lawsuit can be anticipated by reference to prior court rulings. It ensures judges'

impartiality and openness.

There are five sorts of courts: the Supreme Courts, bankruptcy courts, circuit courts, the courts of

particular subject-matter jurisdiction, and district courts.

The Supreme Court has the authority to declare Congressional acts or legislative bodies unlawful

through judicial review.

 Circuit courts - The national structure divides 94 court systems into twelve circuits or

divisions. Every course has a separate Court of Appeals, which hears appeals from

decisions resolved in federal district courts inside the circuit. The district courts are the

national court system's general trial courts.

 Bankruptcy courts - All 94 highest judges' districts hear bankruptcy occurrences filed in

all districts.
