| | In principle, although the precedents of the ECHR are only de facto binding on the state signatory of the Convention, the first instance courts and all the courts of appeal ought to apply the Convention (as interpreted by the ECHR). | | | The purpose of the article is to reflect the role of legal precedents of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in the legal systems of states signatories of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (Convention) and in the further jurisprudence of the ECHR. | | | First, the ruling of the ECHR must be abstracted from the differential specifics of the particular case and the specific domestic legal system; second, the meaning of the ruling must be meaningfully transposed into the situation of the domestic legal system; and third, the ruling must be applied to the specific domestic case at hand. |

This article will show that decisions reported in the Gazette may actually carry force as precedents, depending on the comments the Court makes as well as on the sensitivity of the issues involved. | | | Some scholars commented, on the one hand, that the Gazette is "[p]robably the most important new publication on law" in China, since it is the first time that the People's Republic has published its decided cases. |

| | SSRN-Towards a Law and Technology Theory by Arthur Cockfield |
| | A downside of this transformation is that the liberal approach destabilizes the law by undermining the usefulness of precedents, making it more difficult for lawyers to predict the outcome of cases for their clients. | | | In summary, the liberal approach scrutinizes whether, given current or anticipated technological settings, a legal rule will promote the attainment of policy objectives ("is the legal rule scientific?"). | | | Part I provides background on the need for the development of this theory, which could draw from and inform traditional legal scholarship that studies discrete areas of technology law like intellectual property law. |
