Precedent
Original Plank
Proposed Changes
Precedent is not the law of the land but a tool in constitutional evaluation. Legislation from the bench in the form of precedent can re-establish both good and bad rulings. Precedent can be seen as a method of removing the foundational principle of a fair trial. (Bill of Rights: 6th Amendment. Utah Constitution: Article I, Sections 7 & 12)
