Legal Precedent Vs Cited
Summary
Legal precedent refers to a binding decision within a jurisdiction, while cited precedent is used to support arguments. In oral arguments, cases referenced are cited precedents, but if binding, they are also legal precedents. For a reply brief, include an introduction, case summary, key points, and legal duty, mentioning duty of care. Use cited cases like Smith v. Jones to support arguments. In closing arguments, summarize legal principles, cite relevant cases, and explain their application. For breach of duty, define the element, cite cases like Smith v. Jones and Brown v. Green, and connect them to your case. Consider Moore v. Regents for duty to diagnose and treat.Full Conversation
