All published opinions (majority, concurring, dissenting, etc.) except per curiam (unsigned opinions) may be cited as precedent.

Why was the precedent of two presidential terms set by Washington so important?
I am not sure how important it was since there were not really very many presidents who would have served a third term even without Washington's precedent. Maybe Jefferson, Madison, Monroe or Theodore Roosevelt would have considered a third term had the precedent not been set against it. Jackson and Wilson might have if they were healthier when their second terms ended.

What it means non precedent?
"Non-precedent" refers to a situation or decision that does not set a legal standard or guiding principle for future cases. In legal contexts, a non-precedential ruling may be issued by a court but does not establish binding authority, meaning it cannot be cited as a precedent in future cases. This allows courts to make decisions based on the specifics of a case without creating broader implications for similar cases. Non-precedential decisions often occur in appellate courts when the issues at hand are deemed not significant enough to warrant setting a precedent.

What do you think would be acceptable reasons for reversing an existing precedent?
Acceptable reasons for reversing an existing precedent may include significant changes in societal values or norms that render the precedent outdated or unjust. Additionally, advancements in knowledge or understanding, such as new scientific evidence, can justify a reevaluation. Finally, if a precedent has consistently led to negative consequences or has been applied in ways that undermine justice, it may warrant reconsideration.
How do courts affect other courts?
'Setting a precedent' is similar to saying 'setting the standard'. When a court (with a large jurisdiction) rules a certain away, they set a standard that forces the lower courts to make similar rulings for similar circumstances.
What does the system of judicial precedent mean?
The way the question is asked: USING judicial precedent, means that the judge is following the lead of a decision in a similar case that has already been decided upon and he is ruling the same way using the other case as a guideline. If the questioner meant to ask what does SETTING judicial precedent mean. . . that means that the judge was rendering a decision in a case of a type that had never been tried, or ruled upon, in the past, and that his verdict would set the 'precedent' by which all future cases might be judged. Judges, by the way, do NOT necessarily have to follow precedent in making rulings.
To what extent are precedent are binding or not binding?
it depends on how old the precedent is, how closely related is it to the case you are looking at and the difference between your precedent and crown/defense lawyer's precedent
