Answer 2

This appears to be a matching question dealing with various entities, definitions, and laws present in a government or court system. We have two columns: Column A represents scenarios, representations or definitions while Column B represents corresponding terms or entities.1. The judge may lean on this if a similar issue has been ruled on before: This is referring to 'precedent', a fundamental principle in the law that a issue or case which has been previously ruled on sets a 'standard' for subsequent similar cases. 2. Passes laws that may affect the way courts function: This would refer to the branch of government tasked with making laws, so 'The legislature'. 3. What the majority of the public thinks about a topic: Referring to general consensus within a population, so 'Public Opinion'.4. These are elected positions for each county; the ones who make the ultimate decision about whether to prosecute someone or how they should prosecute: This describes the duties of a 'District Attorney'. 5-6. No specific question here, but a description is provided talking about the entities that affect decisions, express interests, and shape law - 'Lobbyists'. 7. These may not want to face scrutiny for their decision., especially if they had already prejudged it: this likely refers to a group of people that jury-riggs, hence, 'Jury members'. 8: The branch of government that makes laws on which the court system rules: Its definition already given in question 2, so it's 'The legislature' once again.
