Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The doctrine of precedent, or stare decisis, means that courts are bound to follow the decisions of higher courts in the same jurisdiction, but the U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court and is not bound by precedent in the same way lower courts are. Lower courts must follow the precedents set by the Supreme Court, but the Supreme Court can overrule its own previous decisions.
