Not the rules, but the nature of the consequence of breaking the rules. 
Knowing the students is one of a host of factors involved in arriving at a
decision. As the Romans, those innovators of written law, would say, the
law serves the people; the people do not serve the law.  There is always a
face to a decision; always a "for instance;" always a set of singular
circumstance.  Nothing is absolute or cut-and-dry.  That is why the Roman
created the concept of modifying precedent in law.



Make it a good day.
