Explanation

Precedent (stare decisis) is fundamental to common law systems where judicial decisions create binding law. In civil law systems, while not traditionally a formal source, modern practitioners increasingly reference precedents. International law uses ICJ decisions as persuasive authority. The broad view acknowledges precedent's role across all systems, though binding strength varies.
