Stare decisis is a legal doctrine that necessitates courts to follow historical cases when creating a ruling on a similar current or future case. Stare decisis safeguards that cases with identical facts be approached in the same way, except overruled by the same court or a higher court such as the US Supreme Court. Simply put, it binds courts to follow legal precedents set by previous decisions. Stare decisis is a Latin term meaning "to stand by that which is decided". The US common law system has a integrated system of determining legal matters from the principle of stare decisis and precedent. A past ruling or judgment on any circumstance is known as a precedent. Stare decisis commands that courts look to precedent when overseeing an on-going case with similar circumstances.
Health and safety standards, equal pay, working hour limitations, and the freedom to form and join trade unions are examples. With more people today living in conditions of slavery than ever before, laws protecting against labour exploitation, like the Modern Slavery Act 2015, are vital to achieve social justice.

America is at war. We have been fighting drug abuse for almost a century. Four Presidents have personally waged war on drugs. Unfortunately, it is a war that we are losing. Drug abusers continue to fill our courts, hospitals, and prisons. The drug trade causes violent crime that ravages our neighborhoods. Children of drug abusers are neglected, abused, and even abandoned. The only beneficiaries of this war are organized crime members and drug dealers.
<span>The United States has focused its efforts on the criminalization of drug use and trafficker's coming from Mexico. The government has spent billions of dollars trying to get rid the supply of drugs coming into our country. These intervention efforts and law enforcement attempts to control the drugs have not been successful nor have they met with decreases in the availability of drugs in America. There are actually more drugs now than ever before! Apart from being super expensive, drug law and drug enforcement has been counterproductive, it does not work. Our current drug laws need to be reviewed and revamped so that they are more effective or are a deterrent to those to bring drug into the US. The United States needs to shift spending from law enforcement and penalization to education, treatment, and prevention.</span>
