Joy Steigler-Herms is a research associate in subproject B02, “How and Why Do Courts Cite? Citations and References in Judgments of the Federal Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Canada,” at the Collaborative Research Center 1385 “Law and Literature” at the University of Münster.
How and Why Do Courts Cite?
Court decisions can neither be made nor drafted without references to other texts; citations are omnipresent in judicial rulings. Every decision takes relevant normative texts or precedents into account, primarily to ensure coherent case law. Through the act of referencing, courts demonstrate that their decisions are based on an established legal doctrine.
