Are the results of Maryland court cases enforceable on Tennessee residents?
That depends on exactly what you mean. If the court case is specifically about a particular person, then yes. States are generally required to give "full faith and credit" to the judgments of other states, and usually do so... it's a pretty big deal when one doesn't, and generally reflects some kind of values dissonance between the two states (this might happen, for instance, if the government of one state believes a particular person was found guilty in another state solely because of his race or something). If the court case was in general terms, then not necessarily. To pick an example: suppose that a Maryland court found that a person (not the Tennessee resident specifically) was guilty of some crime. That would not obligate a Tennessee court to find that the Tennessee resident, who did the same thing, was also guilty of a crime.... they have the right to do so, or not; the Maryland case establishes precedent, but it's not a binding precedent. The only decisions that are binding precedent on all US courts are those made by the US Supreme Court.
