It is referred to as the law of precedent. • Under stare decisis, the courts recognize previous decisions and precedents to guide future deliberations. • Requires that courts in subsequent cases on similar issues of law and fact be bound by their own earlier decisions and by those of higher courts within their jurisdiction. • Creates predictability in the law.

It includes: • General rules of evidence • Search and seizure • Procedures following an arrest • Procedural laws protect the rights of suspects while establishing a clear-cut series of formal proceeding through which substantive criminal law can be enforced.
