"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 In legal contexts, a non-precedential ruling may be issued by a court but does not establish binding authority, meaning it cannot be cited as a precedent in future cases.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 Non-precedential decisions often occur in appellate courts when the issues at hand are deemed not significant enough to warrant setting a precedent.

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.
