- bwilliams18 10y agoAs I understand it, and I have a weak understanding, the judgement only has a direct, enforceable effect on the area of jurisdiction, but can be cited by other district courts and ultimately the supreme Court in decisions.
- Erik816 10y agoIt will affect federal decisions in all jurisdictions unless there is a contrary/conflicting opinion from another appellate court. In that case, it would still be relevant but not controlling.
