PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

Judges, Lawyers, Law Commissions and researchers constantly do
research in law.

political and economic conditions which give rise to the individual
rules, acts or codes. They also examine socio-legal and other effects of
those acts or rules.

Socio-Legal Research – Law is an instrument of social change; it
originates and functions in a society. Law is an important variable in
any social investigation.
Law and society are two sides of a coin. Co-operative inter
disciplinary research is necessary to deal with the socio-legal
problems. According to Upendra Baxi, “The Lawyer must know much
of sociology and the sociologist must know much of law.”
Factors leading to socio-legal research –
i) Curiosity about unknown.
ii) The search for cause and effect relationship is the main incentive for
doing legal research.

problems. An ordinary person reacts emotionally to these, but a
researcher tries to test the effectiveness of existing law by
undertaking research.
