Stare decisis

Latin for "to stand by things decided." Stare decisis is essentially the doctrine of precedent. Courts cite to stare decisis when an issue has been previously brought to the court and a ruling already issued. Generally, courts will adhere to the previous ruling and prior judgements, though this is not universally true, there is a long history in Common Law and in Natural law it is real since man is endowed by God with rights including the right of self defense even from the court.

When we say the court we mean those jurists that have the right to decide fact and law with the power of nullification.
