That sounds like case law? Eg: It’s why we call “Roe v Wade” as we do.

- drdeca 4y agoWhat’s the difference between “precedent” and “case law”? I had thought that when I said “Though I guess that’s maybe kind of the sort of thing that precedent is for?” that that covered things like citing “Roe v. Wade”.
- imoverclocked 4y agoI’m not a lawyer, I just play one on HN. I thought precedent was a broader term that also covers accepted practices or processes.
