Originator

This dimension names the judge or court credited with originating a legal doctrine. Wikipedia notes that "a legal doctrine comes about when a judge makes a ruling where a process is outlined and applied, and allows for the ruling to be equally applied to like cases." Browsing this way collects every doctrine traced back to the same originator.
