Articles about the law often use the term “jurisprudence”. Jurisprudence (sometimes referred to as case law) is the entirety of judgments delivered by courts.
Interpretation
Legal texts interpret, elaborate and apply legal texts. Jurisprudence is an important source of law because legal texts in themselves are not always clear. Legal texts can often be interpreted in several ways. The study of case law makes it clearer how these legal texts should be interpreted and applied. In particular, authority is vested in judgments of the Supreme Court or, for example, the Court of Justice of the European Union.
