K. LIPSTEIN
:
The Doctrine of Precedent in
Continental Law with Special Reference to French and German
Law,

J.Comp.Leg.
34;
the author examines the place of
precedents in civil law countries and comes to the conclusion
that they
do
not recognise a doctrine of binding precedent
because
(1)
under the influence of Roman law civil lawyers
approach their sources in a way different from that to which
common lawyers are accustomed,
(2)
on the Continent the
Supreme Courts
(i.e.,
the courts
of
final appeal) sit in many
divisions,
(3)
there are usually several Courts
of
Appeal.
