Persuasive authority is also know as what?
A secondary source? There are two kinds of authority that a lawyer can use in his argument in court. The first is binding or mandatory authority. This consists of all applicable statutes and precedential case law in the jurisdiction. For example, if the lawsuit is in California state court, the lawyer could use all California statutes as mandatory authority. Statutes from New York are not binding in California. Persuasive authority is pretty much everything else. A lawyer can try to use other state's laws, or law review articles, or restatements, or American law institute writings in his argument, but the judge doesn't have to listen to this.
What is the difference between mandatory authority and persuasive authority?
Simple really, Primary authority is the verbatim text of laws, case laws, etc. and mandatory authority is the laws or case laws that a particular court must follow. All mandatory authority must be primary authority, but the reverse is not always true. For example. a murder case in district court in New York state MUST follow any and all rulings or laws of New York state and any higher courts. However, a murder case in Minnesota is not required to follow New York's laws and case laws even though they are primary authority. Also a higher court is never required to follow a lower courts decision even if it is a primary authority.To break it down to brass tacks, primary authority is really just the legal term for a primary source, same as regular research. A mandatory authority is about jurisdiction and stare deices.

What types of cases and memos would you be most likely to cite case law that is not mandatory authority?
In legal writing, you would most likely cite non-mandatory authority, such as persuasive case law, in cases involving unique or novel issues where binding precedent does not exist. This can include cases that adopt similar legal principles from other jurisdictions or cases that provide compelling reasoning supporting your argument. Memos that analyze the potential outcomes of litigation or suggest strategies for settlement might also rely on non-mandatory authority to bolster the proposed approach. Ultimately, these citations help to provide context and support for arguments in the absence of binding decisions.
