  Case law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the civil law tradition, case law formally plays a minor role compared to the status of the civil code; however, judicial interpretation of the civil code, interpreting the legal meaning of the code's provisions, clarifying them, and providing for unforeseen developments, is often referred to as a juriprudence constante.
In France, the jurisprudence constante of the Cour de cassation (for civil and penal cases) or the Conseil d'État (for administrative cases) is in practice equivalent to case law, and is of considerable import in certain domains such as labor law or administrative law.

 Tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trees are important components of the natural landscape and significant elements in landscaping and agriculture, supplying orchard crops (such as apples).
The earliest trees were tree ferns and horsetails, which grew in vast forests in the Carboniferous Period; tree ferns still survive, but the only surviving horsetails are not of tree form.
For example, most palm trees are not branched, the saguaro cactus of North America has no functional leaves, tree ferns do not produce bark, etc. Based on their general shape and size, all of these are nonetheless generally regarded as trees.

 Justis - ICLR Special Issue - Central London Property Trust Ltd v. High Trees House Ltd   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
They are cases in which a promise was made which was intended to create legal relations and which, to the knowledge of the person making the promise, was going to be acted on by the person to whom it was made and which was in fact so acted on.
In each case the court held the promise to be binding on the party making it, even though under the old common law it might be difficult to find any consideration for it.
If the case had been one of estoppel, it might be said that in any event the estoppel would cease when the conditions to which the representation applied came to an end, or it also might be said that it would only come to an end on notice.

Graves (1966) makes a case for an additional "blank" ogham, "the unhewn dolmen arch", which he assigns to the mistletoe, a plant for which there is abundant evidence of its ritual importance to the Celts.

 Sacred Places: Trees and the Sacred
Trees have been invested in all cultures with a dignity unique to their own nature, and tree cults, in which a single tree or a grove of trees is worshipped, have flourished at different times almost everywhere.
The oak tree was also sacred to Zeus, especially the tree at the sanctuary of Zeus in Dodona which also served as an oracle; it would seem the rustling of the leaves was regarded as the voice of Zeus and the sounds interpreted by priestesses.
In the Old Testament, trees are also associated with the ancient Canaanite religion devoted to the mother goddess Asherah which the Israelites, intent on establishing their monotheistic cult of Yahweh, saught to suppress and replace.

They are, in addition, the "flattest" type of tree, ie, they have the largest node to height ratio, where "height" is the maximum distance (number of edges traversed) between the root and any node in the tree.
The position of an element in the tree is implied by its position in the array: it is an implicit data structure.

Tree growth is generally controlled by climate conditions during the year prior to and including the growing season.
Trees growing in these types of sites are also less likely to be subject to non-climatic disturbances (such as fires and insect infestation) and the effects of competition from nearby trees.
Trees used in hydroclimatic reconstructions are not necessarily located in the same watershed as the instumental or gage records.

 Scientist at Purdue uses DNA evidence to solve 'tree rustling' case
Tree rustling, or tree poaching, a crime analogous to cattle rustling, occurs when trees are illegally taken from private or public lands.
The types of trees most likely to fall to this crime are those prized for fine furniture, cabinetry and veneers, including walnut, cherry and white oak, Woeste said.
Woeste and colleagues recently completed a survey of Indiana's walnut trees and compiled a large database of genetic information to be used in his research on improving the genetic quality of Indiana's hardwood trees.

As explained in the phylogenetic caveats sidebar, gene trees are not equivalent to species trees (Avise and Wollenberg 1997; Fitch 1970; Hudson 1992; Nichols 2001; Wu 1991).
Our standard tree shows that the bird grouping is most closely related to the reptilian grouping, with a node linking the two (A in Figure 1); thus we predict the possibility of finding fossil intermediates between birds and reptiles.
As mentioned earlier, most phylogenetic trees have some branches with high confidence, because they are well-supported by the data, and other branches in which we have less confidence, because they are statistically less significant and poorly supported by the data.
