Precedent is a judicial decision that serves as an authority for courts when deciding subsequent identical or similar cases. Fundamental to common law legal systems, precedent operates under the principle of stare decisis ("to stand by things decided"), where past judicial decisions serve as case law to guide future rulings, thus promoting consistency and predictability.

判決先例（英語：precedent、或英語：authority），又稱判例、先例、前例。秉承先例（英語：doctrine of precedents）即是依照先例原則判案。在普通法體系下指的是根據先前的法律案件（legal case）而建立起的法律原則或規範。而遵循先例（拉丁語：Stare decisis）是一種法律原則，意指法官應該尊重已經形成的判決先例，法院在面對類似的法律案件或是事實時，應該適用先前的規範，作出類似判決。遵循先例是判例法形成的基礎。 只有上诉法庭的判决才对下级法庭有约束力。而上诉法庭一般由三、五、七、甚至九名法官组成。因此，法庭在可行的情况下，形成「法庭的意见」（opinion of the court/Majority opinion），即至少由多数的法官认同的判决。如此，即使部分法官对判决有异议，判决既然获得法庭多数的承认，对下级法庭仍然有约束力。
