Another source of law in judicial decision-making traces its origin to the British common-law tradition known as precedent. The idea is that like cases should be decided alike. The Supreme Court generally follows its precedents because it is considered important for the rule of law. In cases where the prior constitutional ruling is believed to be in error, the court has occasionally overturned itself.
