What Constitutes Law?
which of the following is law?
A. A treatise
B. A published appellate court opinion
C. Shepard's
D. A digest
Re: What Constitutes Law?
"B." A published decision.
"A" is a discusion about the law and where it might me going, it has some persuasive power but it is not the law per se.
"C" and "D" are research tools that hold no persuasive power but are books that help lawyers find the law.
