Law
1 answer:
guajiro [1.7K]1 year ago
6 0

The principle of stare decisis, which involves precedent, obliges other courts to apply the law consistently in the same circumstances.

When a case involves the same or similar facts or the same legal issues, a judicial decision known as a precedent is used as a guide. At common law, courts must follow the precedents of other courts. Courts must follow certain precedents but not others.

Determining which decisions apply to a particular court can be difficult due to the complexity of the federal structure. Priority is usually based on several decisions. Sometimes a single decision can set a precedent. For example,  a state supreme court's interpretation of an individual statute is usually considered part of the law at the outset.

Martina is arrested for a crime and refuses to take the witness stand at his or her trial.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

In Griffin v. California, the U.S. Supreme Court rules that the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination not only allows a criminal defendant to refuse to take the witness stand during his trial, but it also bars the prosecutor from urging the jury to interpret that silence as an indication that the defendant has something to hide. The Court reasons that the right against self-incrimination would be meaningless if a defendant’s exercise of the right could be used against him.

Hope this helps
