Template
When a case is cited as authority, verify the point relied on is the court's actual holding, not dicta. Only the rule necessary to the decision binds; broader language a court used in passing does not. Confirm the cited proposition is what the case actually decided on its facts, and flag any argument that leans on a court's incidental remarks as if they carried the force of a holding.
