Syllabus (legal)
 | This article appears to be a dictionary definition. |
Syllabus in the legal profession refers to a paragraph that lists the laws used in the determination of most legal opinions.
Methodology[]
Most legal opinions begin with a syllabus. While the syllabi act as summaries of the cases, they are not considered to be part of the actual decisions. Thus, future cases cannot cite them as precedential to their arguments.[1]
