Practice question
A carefully documented lecture by a highly qualified jurist analyzes official practice and legal positions. Counsel rejects it solely because it was delivered orally and recorded instead of printed. What follows the commentary?
- The form alone does not exclude it from teachings; its authority and analysis still need evaluation.
- All oral legal analysis is legally irrelevant.
- A recording automatically binds every State.
- Only the recording’s popularity matters.
- The lecture becomes a treaty without State consent.
