Question $3$

Remember that when an appeals court writes $($or "renders"$)$ and opinion, it sets

precedent that lower courts have to follow. Since it sets precedent, it is helpful

to "publish" the opinions so that judges, attorneys and others who might need

the information, can find it$.$

With this in mind, would it make since to publish state trial court decisions?

No$.$ They don't set precedent so there is no real need.

Yes. They set precedent.
