Whatdoes this doctrine have to do with the American legal system?ANSWER:In a common law legal system, past judicial decisions arebindingin current disputes with similar facts. This feature of the common law, which isthe basis of the American legal system, is unique because, unlike the law inother legal systems, it is judge-made law. Within the common law system,when possible, judges attempt to be consistent and to base their decisions onthe principles suggested by earlier cases. The body of principles and doctrinesthat form the common law emerged over time as judges applied the principlesannounced in earlier cases to subsequent legal controversies.The practice of deciding cases with reference to former decisions, orprecedents—thecornerstoneoftheAmericanlegalsystem—iscalledthedoctrine ofstare decisis. Under this doctrine, judges are obligated to follow theprecedents established within their jurisdictions. This helps courts to be moreefficient and makes the law more stable and predictable.PAGES:8–10TYPE:=BUSPROG:ReflectiveAICPA: BB-Critical ThinkingB2.For a business law class,Sierrareads and briefs several court opinions usingthe IRAC method of legalreasoning. What do the letters I, R, A, and Cabbreviate? What are the steps in the IRAC method?ANSWER:The letters I, R, A, and Care the first letters of“Issue,” “Rule,”“Application,” and “Conclusion.”TheIRACmethodoflegalreasoningrequiresSierraoranyotherstudent or reader to first summarize the important facts of a legal case andstate the salient issue or issues. The second step is to determine and set outthe rule of law that applies to the facts to resolve the issue. The third step is toapply that rule to those facts. The application of the rule requires an answer tothe question posed by the issue. This answer may involve one or more differenttypesoflegalreasoning,butthosereasonsshouldbethoughtoutandexpressed clearly. Finally, the conclusion derived from the application of therule to the facts is stated. This is sometimes referred to as the result or theoutcome in a case—who won;who lost;what the award, if any, consists of;orwhat the parties are, or are not, required to do next.
