Jurisprudence constante
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jurisprudence constante is a legal doctrine according to which a long series of previous decisions applying a particular rule of law carries great weight and may be determinative in subsequent cases.
Jurisprudence constante is a legal doctrine recognized in most civil law jurisdictions, such as, for example, in the civil law of Louisiana.
The rule of law applied in the Jurisprudence constante directly compares with stare decisis. Please note that the proper spelling of constante includes an "e" at the end.
