Court decisions are the rulings made by judges or courts in legal cases. These decisions interpret and apply the law to specific situations, determining the outcome of disputes between parties. They can involve various issues, such as criminal charges, civil rights, or contract disputes. The decisions are based on evidence presented during trials and the relevant laws. Once a court decision is made, it can set a precedent for future cases, guiding how similar cases are handled. Higher courts, like supreme courts, often review lower court decisions to ensure the law is applied consistently. This process helps maintain fairness and justice in the legal system.
