[Avodah] Court System Models

[Liron Kopinsky]

> Or would a local bet din not give psak if it weren't 100% sure? <
To my understanding, one of the few mitzvot in the Torah that never had to
be enforced is that of a Zakein who refused to change his psak to match with
the Sanhedrin. After being warned numerous times he would eventually be
chayav mita.
This seems to suggest that Rabbanim do have some autonomy with their
halachik decisions until the Sanhedrin unify.
