LSB 3213 Exam 1 (Lucas) Questions and

Answers 100% Solved | Graded A+


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.

Dissenting Opinion - ✔✔Written by one or more judges who disagree with

the majority view.

Plurality Opinion - ✔✔Not a majority opinion. Group with the largest amount

in agreement.

Appellate jurisdiction vs Original jurisdiction - ✔✔Appellate jurisdiction

deals with courts that are hearing cases for the second, third, or sometimes

fourth times. They serves as review, or appellate courts. Original

jurisdiction deals with courts hearing cases for the first time, such as trial

courts.
