No.
Yes, statutes and case law are primary authority in the jurisdictions that they control. They are persuasive authority in foreign jurisdictions.
Primary- it comes from someone who was a witness to a historical event (In this case, the Holocaust).
A dictum, or obiter dictum, is considered a secondary authority in legal contexts. It refers to comments or observations made by a judge that are not essential to the decision in a case and thus do not carry the same binding authority as the case's holding. While dicta can provide insight and guidance, they are not legally enforceable like primary authority, which includes statutes and case law.
The statue was created in the time Octavian Augustus was emperor. A primary source is direct evidence from people who lived in that time period. In this case the direct evidence is a statue and it is the history of a person. The statue is direct evidence so it is a primary source.
Yes, headnotes are considered secondary authority. They are brief summaries or annotations that accompany judicial opinions, highlighting key legal points or issues addressed in the case. While they can be helpful for understanding the case's content, headnotes are not binding legal authority and should not be relied upon as a primary source of legal precedent. Instead, they serve as a guide to the relevant law found in the actual opinion.

An appellate brief is considered a secondary authority because it is a document prepared by one of the parties involved in a legal case, presenting arguments and legal analysis to support their position to the appellate court. It is not a controlling legal authority like statutes or case law.

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.
The authority of a court to hear a case is its jurisdiction.
The power or authority to hear a case is called jurisdiction; the authority to hear a case on appeal is called appellate jurisdiction.
