American Legal English
I read yesterday about the differences between the holding and the dicta in the case law.The first one is the rule of law or legal principle and the material facts that comes from the judgment while the dicta is the other statements in the decision that do not from part of the holding. The interesting part is that lawyers should be aware and read carefully to analyze what is from the holding and what is not. this process seems easy but it is very difficult which needs a lot of practise.

Hi Salem,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that is difficult for lawyers, but with the constant practice of this work it will be easy for them.
hey,
ReplyDeletei agree with you about how hard it is for lawyers and how much effort and focus they need to spend on analyzing things, moreover, in some cases, it might take days for just reading what they are working on
hi Salem
ReplyDeleteI read your blog and it is interesting. I see this process is more complicated for lawyers in the real life practices. Good job!
