Question

A source of law that courts must follow when deciding a case is called a binding authority. A binding authority does NOT include ____________-.

Answer 1

A binding authority does not include considering opinions of trusted newspaper.

Explanation:

Binding authority is a complete source of law that a judge must consider and evaluate while making decision for a case.  The judge must make sure that he has followed or evaluated all the points that are assigned in the binding authority and only then he should conclude and make his decision.

But the judge must also not relay on the opinion of trusted newspaper and alter his decision according to that, so considering the opinion of trusted newspaper is not a policy that is included in the binding authority. So we can conclude that answer.
