Deciding Cases
Hi, there!
My name is Nikita. I am from Russia and I am a lawyer. What i really learn is how courts decide cases. Sometimes there is a issue: what makes a judge to decide case in certain way. It can be anything. Political standings, moral matters, religious beliefs. There is a fundamental book what is written by Oliver Holmes, the famous US Supreme Court judge, and what is called "The Common Law". In this book Oliver Holmes actually wrote: "The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience". Nobody can say better. The law is what judges do every day by deciding cases. Not some statute of parliament, not even "natural law" (what doesn`t really exist because law is always positive)

Deciding Cases
Hi, there!My name is Nikita. I am from Russia, and I am a lawyer. What I'm currently? learning about is how courts decide cases. Sometimes there is an issue: what leads a judge to decide a case in a certain way. It can be anything: political positions/opinions, moral perspectives, or religious beliefs. There is a fundamental book, written by Oliver Wendell Holmes*, the famous U.S. Supreme Court judge, and what is called "The Common Law." In this book he actually** wrote: "The life of the law has not been logic: it has been experience". Nobody has said it / expressed it better. Applying the law is what judges do every day by deciding cases; not some law passed by a legislature, not even "natural law" (which in my opinion does not really exist, because law is always positive***).
*He is typically referred to using his middle name.
**This implies that you are surprised that he wrote such a thing. "He actually said that?" "Yes, can you believe it?"
***I don't understand your use of this word here.
