The doctrine of judicial precedent is at the heart of the Common Law system of rights and duties. The courts are bound (within prescribed limits) by prior decisions of superior courts. Adherence to precedent helps achieve two objects of the legal order. Firstly it contributes to the maintenance of a regime of stable laws. This stability gives predictability to the law and affords a degree of security for individual rights. Secondly it ensures that the law develops only in accordance with the changing perceptions of the community and therefore more accurately reflects the morals and expectations of the community.
First off, the legal systems that exist in nation states derived from British heritage are completely different to that of the roman empire. The roman empire had what is known as an inquisitorial system of justice where by the judge is not used as primarily a third independent party. The judge in this system asks questions and oral testimonies are relied upon rather than written documents as in the British System. This inquisitorial system still exists in many European nations such as France. The British system is the Adversarial System or common law system where the courts are used to create common law based on precedent. Unlike the other system, the laws in these courts are not 'codified' and turned to legislation rather they act as precedent as to allow judges to rule on matters before them in the future.
