Professor Lee Strang explains that the concept of stare decisis is not necessarily in tension with the natural law tradition. Natural law provides a basis or a framework for interpreting the Constitution but practical applications of the law require more detail than can be provided by the Constitution alone.

Lee J. Strang is the John W. Stoepler Professor of Law & Values at the University of Toledo College of Law.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
