Defining Dicta, Michael Abramowicz, Maxwell Stearns

George Mason University School of Law Working Papers Series
In recent decades, legal scholars have devoted substantially greater attention to studying the origin and nature of stare decisis than to defining the distinction between holding and dicta.

This annual review is a tradition that gives our legal community a wonderful opportunity to publicly comment on the work of the court. This public testing of the court’s work is a healthy part of the …
