Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - "Bad/hard cases make for bad caselaw" ? Is it a common law saying or not
Posted: 6/29/2015 8:27:56 AM EDT
"Bad/hard cases make for bad caselaw" (or variations on that)

Just in a smal debate here if it is considered to a adage in the common law system ?

Yes.





Heard it in Criminal procedures class in '89

I learned it as "Hard cases make bad law".

Thanks guys. arguing common law stuff with civil law trained lawyers is always good for a laugh.

Turns out the other guy said he meant to say its not a civil law addage and therefore is not relevant.

Bad facts make bad law. Common law school saying that I hadn't heard or thought about since I got out until this post.
