Jaylen Salinas · Answer 1

A) True

Explanation:

In common law, a precedent case is a case that occurred in the past that sets a general principle. This principle will be later used by other courts when deciding over other cases that involve similar issues.

In this case, Hernandez v. Arizona Board of Regents serves as a precedent case because it involves similar issues to the case being brought against an Arizona university's fraternity. Both cases dealt with alcohol being provided to underage consumers.
