A case that sets precedent is one with issues a court has not addressed before. The court's decision in the case will influence how similar cases are decided later. |

since you don't mention the case, how are we to know?
In common law legal systems, a precedent or authority is a legal case establishing a principle or rule that a court or other judicial body utilizes when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts. |

It means that the results of this case will influence a decision made by a judge in the future, regarding the same type of case. Precedents are usually set by Supreme Courts, or courts with higher influences. |

Redefines an existing law or opens up the possibility of a new law. Example.. State of Florida set precedent by defining a motor vehicle as a deadly weapon in cases of DUI/DWI. This allows the state to try and convict people for murder if they kill someone while DUI/DWI. Prior to that people got tickets, some jail, license suspended, and fines. GL |

Why or how does the case set a precedent for future cases?
P.S. Think of what the ruling of the case is... does it deal with a major issue (abortion, gay rights, civil rights, gun control, etc.) Will the outcome of this case effect the way other cases could be ruled upon, or does it change the way a law can be interpreted? |
