LSB 3213 Exam 1 (Lucas) Questions
and Correct Verified Answers Latest
Version
What are the four key sources of law?


✓ Constitutions

✓ Statutes

✓ Administrative

✓ Common law




The roles of parties in litigation


✓ The plaintiff is the one bringing the action (suing), the defendant is the

one who action is being brought upon. (In criminal cases, the

prosecutor is the one who presses charges against the defendant.)




Stare decisis


✓ Act on precedence. Two aspects: (1) A court should not overturn its

own precedents unless there is a compelling reason to do so and (2)

decisions made by higher courts are binding on lower courts.




Authoritative opinion vs persuasive opinion

✓ An authoritative opinion is binding on lower courts and courts in the

same jurisdiction, while a persuasive opinion serves only to act as a

point of precedence, and is persuading to any court ruling on a similar

case.




Civil law vs Criminal law


✓ Civil law deals with the rights and duties of persons and when these

rights are violated, whereas criminal law deals with wrongs committed

against the public as a whole.




Unanimous Opinion


✓ When all judges/justices agree on an outcome




Majority opinion


✓ When the majority of the judges agree on a single outcome, but not

all.




Concurring Opinion


✓ When a judge agrees with the majority opinion's result, but not their

legal reasoning to get to that result. Their opinions are written to include

the reasoning they believe to be correct.
