Case Law is Not a Distinct Form of Precedent

The article as shown lists "Case Law" as a distinct kind of precedent from Binding and Persuasive Precedent. This is hugely misleading, as Binding and Persuasive Precedents are both part of Case Law, which is the set of all decisions made by judges on matters of law within a legal system. A judge decides on a matter, and the relationship of that judge's court to the court currently hearing a case decides whether or not that decision forms a Binding Precedent or a Persuasive Precedent.
