Best Answer

Bad law refers to case law that has been overturned by later statute or case law.

For example, a number of courts denied challenges to segregation in public schools, and the law was "separate but equal." In Brown v. Board, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the prior decisions and found that school segregation was unconstitutional. If you were crafting a legal argument today that relied on one of the opinions that upheld separate but equal, you would be relying on bad law.
