Explanation:

Law is a set of principles and norms, generally expressive of a conception of justice and order, that regulate human relations in every society and whose observance can be imposed coercively by the State. Its character and content is based on social relationships in a certain place and time. The concept of law is studied by the philosophy of law. Throughout history jurists, philosophers and legal theorists have proposed alternative definitions and different legal theories without there being consensus on their definition.

`stare decisis is a legal doctrine that obligates courts to follow historical cases when making a ruling on a similar current or future case. stare decisis ensures that cases with identical facts be approached in the same way, unless overruled by the same court or a higher court such as the us supreme court. simply put, it binds courts to follow legal precedents set by previous decisions.

stare decisis is a latin term meaning "to stand by that which is decided".
