娱乐性解释:

n. In Law a previous decision rule or practice which in the absence of a definite statute has whatever force and authority a Judge may choose to give it thereby greatly simplifying his task of doing as he pleases. As there are precedents for everything he has only to ignore those that make against his interest and accentuate those in the line of his desire. Invention of the precedent elevates the trial-at-law from the low estate of a fortuitous ordeal to the noble attitude of a dirigible arbitrament.
