You have to look to the jurisdiction of the court which issued the opinion. If it is a court of appeals case that is in the same city as your district court case, or if it is a state supreme court or U.S. Supreme Court decision, then the case is binding authority--the judge has to consider it as the law.
If the case comes from a court of appeals in a different city/county, or if it is a federal case from a different circuit, then the case is merely persuasive--the judge can use it or disregard it as he or she sees fit.
Note: although I refer to a court of appeals as being in a particular city (which is how they are generally named), that court usually has authority over lower courts in surrounding towns, cities, counties, etc.

How can you establish case law in Ohio?
"Laws" are not derived from "case law" - DECISIONS of the court are derived from case law. Additional information: Case law in Ohio is established by having written opinions of court cases published in one of the appropriate Ohio Official Reports. The three official reporters in Ohio are the Ohio Supreme Court Reports, Ohio Appellate Reports and, for trial court cases, Ohio Miscellaneous Reports. All Ohio Supreme Court opinions are published; however only those appellate and trial court opinions that the Ohio Supreme Court Committee to Review Reporting of Opinions approves for publication are published. Once an opinion is published in the official reports, it becomes precedent for future cases having similar sets of facts under similar legal grounds. The precedential authority of a reported opinion is what makes it "case law." Opinions which are not approved for publication have no such precedential authority and are not considered "case law."
