Abstract

Considering the difference between jurisprudence and precedent in civil law systems, the study focuses on the measurability of the factors determining jurisprudence. Using examples selected from French, Italian and Brazilian law, the author aims to assign a non-arbitrary quotient to each element concurring in the normative value of a decision in order to ascertain when a single judgment (non-binding precedent) could be objectively considered jurisprudence. Without any quantitative parameter to weight jurisprudence and its elements being set, in the civil law systems – where the normative value of jurisprudence is quickly increasing – the efficiency of case management could impact the most effective judicial protection of individual rights.
