persuasive precedent

A precedent that is not binding on a court, but that is entitled to respect and careful consideration.

• For example, if the case was decided in a neighboring jurisdiction, the court might evaluate the earlier court’s reasoning without being bound to decide the same way. [Cases: Courts 89, 96(5), 97(1, 5). C.J.S. Courts §§ 139–140, 144–146, 152–153, 158–159, 161–164, 166–167.]
