However, a more important factor to consider when deciding whether to appeal may be the precedential value of the case. 但是，决定是否上诉的一个更重要的因素也许是案件的判例价值。

Likewise, in the federal system, a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision would not have any precedential effect on another circuit court appeal. 同样地，在联邦的系统内，第五巡回上诉法庭的一个决定对另外一个巡回法院的上诉状不产生任何的先例效果。

Not all cases are published, however, and there is considerable debate in many jurisdictions about the precedential value of unpublished decisions. 不是所有的案例会出版，然而，关于未出版的判例的先例性价值在诸多管辖地有着大量的争论。

Not all cases are published, howeer, and there is considerable debate in many jurisdictions about the precedential alue of unpublished decisions. 不是所有的案例会出版，然而，关于未出版的判例的先例性价值在诸多管辖地有着大量的争论。

Decisions by courts do not establish legal precedents, but important decisions by the SPC are highlighted in official guidance and have precedential effects. 法院的裁决并不构成司法判例，但是最高人民法院的重大决策则会成为官方参考依据并有判例作用。
