GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL — This year’s recipient of the Eisenberg Prize is Professor Charles Tyler, for “The Adjunctive Model of Precedent,” University of Chicago Law Review, September 2020. In this article, Professor Tyler offers the adjudicative model’s first empirical and normative assessment. It describes an empirical case study of the Ninth Circuit and finds that, after adopting the adjudicative model, that court was more likely to follow its precedent in cases involving disputes about the holding/dictum distinction.
