What does the term "Stare decisis" refer to?

A contract
Stare decisis
Code
Common-law

The correct answer is: Stare decisis

"Stare decisis" refers to the legal principle of following precedent, or decisions made in previous cases. This means that when a judge is faced with a new case, they should consider the decisions made in similar past cases. Option A, a contract, is incorrect because stare decisis does not refer to a specific legal agreement. Option C, code, is incorrect because it does not pertain to legal decisions or precedent. Option D, common-law, is partially correct as it relates to the principle of stare decisis, but does not fully encompass its meaning. Therefore, B is the most accurate and complete choice.
