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.

Which of the following is NOT a graduated sanction step?
dlinn [17]

I can try my best here.

The following that is a sanction: Four main “structured decision-making” tools are available for improving juvenile justice system programming in a graduated-sanctions framework: risk assessment, needs/strengths assessment, a disposition matrix

The following that is not a sanction: Any type of sanction is put by the other countries in the individual country is a tool for putting economic pressure on the neighbouring country. It is one of the methods of foreign policy and can be beneficial in the regulation of trading internationally and dealing with political matters.  

Hopefully this helped and if it did not then I'm sorry...
