Precedent, Analogy and Reasons for Action. Comments on the Ideas of Frederick Schauer

For a large part of the legal literature, with which I am particularly in agreement, the use and follow-up of judicial decisions in future cases is primarily a matter of analogies.

Sumario:For a large part of the legal literature, with which I am particularly in agreement, the use and follow-up of judicial decisions in future cases is primarily a matter of analogies. However, the well-known professor Frederick Schauer, in several of his stud-ies and publications, has put this idea at risk with good arguments. According to his inter-pretation, following the precedent is something substantially different from analogical reasoning. In this paper, we try to problematize his thesis from four analytical perspec-tives that I consider essentials: principles-rules; communicative intentions-linguistic tool; internal-external reason; and excluding-conclusive reasons. Within them, the thesis of separation proposed by Schauer would seem to fails.
