No, the principle of stare decisis, which means to stand by things decided, is relevant in the hierarchy of courts. Lower courts are usually bound to follow the legal precedents set by higher courts within their jurisdiction. This helps ensure consistency and predictability in the law.
Res judicata refers to a legal principle that a matter that has been conclusively decided by a court cannot be litigated again between the same parties. Stare decisis, on the other hand, is the legal principle of following precedent and adhering to decisions made in prior cases. Res judicata focuses on the finality of judgments, while stare decisis focuses on consistency in the application of law.
Stare decisis is a Latin phrase that means "to stand by that which is decided."When a court makes a decision, it establishes a legal precedent that is used by subsequent courts in their deliberations. In so doing, they are applying the legal doctrine of 'stare decisis,' which is one of the most important doctrines in Western law.Common law is made by judges when they apply previous court decisions to current cases, basing their opinions on the judicial interpretation of previous laws, and leading to a common understanding of how a law should be interpreted.Judges of lower courts observe this principle by respecting the precedents set by higher courts.

Court reversal refers to the process in which a higher court overturns or invalidates a decision made by a lower court. This typically occurs when the higher court concludes that the lower court made an error in interpreting or applying the law. When a court reversal occurs, the decision of the higher court becomes the final ruling in the case.
Yes. The Federal Courts follow the doctrine of stare decisis. They will only overturn precedent if a higher court has ruled on the issue differently.Added: The above answer is correct insofar as it goes, However, if by "the federal courts" you mean to include ALL Federal Courts (to include the Supreme Court) you will find many instances of the Supreme Court reversing it's own theretofore long-standing decisions. (e.g.: Dred Scott).
A decision made by a higher court sets a binding precedent for the inferior court(s).
It doesn't have to "enforce"its decision (that's not the court's job), when a higher court acts on the case that is the law. Everybody is supposed to obey the law. If not the police, FBI, other enforcement agencies or methods are in place to enforce the higher courts decision. However a large part of what lawyers do in all courts is cite previous court decisions of other courts at all levels to convince the judge in their case that they are interpreting the law correctly for the benefit of their client.
That means a case heard in a trial court was appealed to an appellate court; the appellate court agreed with the lower court's decision, and determined the case was conducted properly. When this happens, the appellate court "affirms" the trial court decision, and that decision becomes final unless the case is carried to a higher appellate court that reverses the trial court's decision.
The doctrine of stare decisis binds judges to follow precedents set by higher appellate courts under which jurisdiction the particular lower court falls.For example, in the federal court system US Supreme Court decisions create binding precedents for all US District Courts and US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts; however, Circuit Court decisions only set binding precedents for the US District Courts within their territorial jurisdiction.The exception to this is decisions of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which has nationwide jurisdiction (below that of the Supreme Court) over special subject-matter cases.
The noun 'appeal' is a word for a serious, urgent, or heartfelt request; an application to a higher court for a decision to be reversed; a request for donations to support a charity or cause; the power of attracting or of arousing interest.The verb 'appeal' is to ask for something badly needed or wanted; to apply to a higher court for a reversal of the decision of a lower court; to call upon another for a decision; to be pleasing or attractive.Example:Does this appeal to you? (verb)Yes, it has a lot of appeal for me. (noun)
All published opinions (majority, concurring, dissenting, etc.) except per curiam (unsigned opinions) may be cited as precedent. Supreme Court opinions supersede all lower court opinions, and set binding precedents which both federal and state courts* are supposed to adhere to under the doctrine of stare decisis.* US Supreme Court decisions only apply to state courts if they involve incorporated parts of the Bill of Rights or other applicable amendments.
