Assignment #9
"Judicial decisions are of greater or less authority as precedents, according to circumstances. That this should be so, accords both with common sense, and the customary understanding of the legal profession."

What this statement means is that judgements to cases are very important. That is because what they do is set precedents in place, which allows future cases to be compared with prior cases and verdicts can be placed accordingly. It can also be said that they may prove precedents wrong and allow new laws to be written based upon the new discoveries found. In all, judgements are proven to hold a lot of clout in that what is determined in a case in the future.
