The judge is the trier of law. Any sort of legal opinion that might be precedential is issued by the judge. And even then, trial court proceedings aren't precedential except before the same judge (because the judge is probably going to rule again the same way given the same situation). Precedential value is only attached to appellate rulings in the same jurisdiction. |
