I'm not sure I'm right, so if one of the lawyers can confirm- for one reason the districts/circuits don't rule each other. A ruling in THIS district over here doesn't mean THAT District over there HAS to rule the same way.

It's also how we get circuit splits. I.e. Peruta could be ruled differently than Woollard.

Another (and probably more likely and compelling) reason may be jurisdiction.
