enters judgment essentially overturning verdict (“Judgment notwithstanding the verdict.”)

Pierson v. Post: DQ1.02PRECEDENT
•What types of authorities does the court rely on as precedent? Why are these authorities considered helpful?
![Page 35: ELEMENTS B / D : Prof. Fajer](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56812a56550346895d8dab6b/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Pierson v. Post: DQ1.02PRECEDENT
•Majority Opinion relies on Treatises – Books Written by Experts in Law– Useful Because Smart People Looking at
Same Problem– Treatises here all by experts in “Civil Law”
• System based in Codes of Law & Statutes– E.g., Roman Law (Justinian); Napoleonic Code– Used Today in Continental Europe, Latin America,
Louisiana
• Contrast “Common Law”: – Judge-made law based in cases– Used in systems developed from English Law (Most of
U.S. & Canada, British West Indies, etc.)
