persuasive precedent

Read a random definition: B reorganization

A quick definition of persuasive precedent:

A persuasive precedent is a legal decision that a court can consider when making a ruling, but it is not required to follow it. It is like a suggestion or advice from another court. A binding precedent, on the other hand, is a decision that a court must follow. Precedents are important because they help judges make fair and consistent decisions based on similar cases that have been decided in the past.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A persuasive precedent is a legal decision that is not binding on a court, but is entitled to respect and careful consideration. It is a precedent that a court may choose to follow, but is not required to do so.

Examples: If a case was decided in a neighboring jurisdiction, the court might evaluate the earlier court's reasoning without being bound to decide the same way. Another example is when a court considers a decision made by a lower court or a court in a different jurisdiction. The court may find the reasoning persuasive and choose to follow it, but is not required to do so.

Explanation: A persuasive precedent is not binding on a court, but it can still influence the court's decision-making process. The court may consider the reasoning and analysis used in the earlier decision and use it as a guide in making its own decision. However, the court is not required to follow the earlier decision if it does not find it persuasive or applicable to the current case.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
