Precedents are the decisions in cases in the PAST. These past cases are used and applied to cases in the courts to provide certainty and consistency in the system of law and justice (no matter what legal system this is regarding).
The decisions are called precedents. Precedents are used as a guide by future court cases with similar fact patterns.
The doctrine that previous court decisions should apply as precedents in similar cases is known as stare decisis.
Cases would be tied up in the appellate courts forever, and there would be few established precedents on which to base a decision. Chaos and gridlock.
They are called precedents. If the decision was made by a court with jurisdiction over a lower court, they are called binding precedents because the lower court is required to apply the same reasoning in similar cases under the doctrine of stare decisis.

No, that's backwards. Binding precedents are set from the top-down.US Supreme Court decisions are binding on all relevant federal (and state) courts.US Court of Appeals Circuit Court decisions are binding only on US District Courts within that Circuit.US District Court decisions are not binding on any other Courts.Non-binding precedents, including dissenting opinions, may be cited as persuasive precedents at any level, however.
They are called "precedents of law" and affect how similar present or future cases are decided.
There is no doctrine of non-binding precedents. Non-binding opinions that may be used as guidelines for deciding future cases are called persuasive precedents. Binding precedents are upheld under the doctrine of stare decisis (Latin: Let the decision stand).
