Scenarios about 'legal precedent'
Legal precedent refers to court decisions that establish principles or rules that serve as authority for deciding subsequent cases with similar facts or legal issues. These judicial determinations form the foundation of common law systems by creating binding or persuasive standards that courts must or should follow in future rulings. In alternate history scenarios, divergent legal precedents can fundamentally alter societal development by changing rights, governmental powers, and institutional relationships in ways that cascade through historical timelines.
