Question

When is a concurring opinion written

Answer 1

A concurring opinion is written when a judge agrees with the outcome of a case, but for different reasons than those stated in the majority opinion. Concurring opinions are typically written to express a different legal reasoning or interpretation of the law. They are not necessary for the decision in the case, but provide additional perspectives and can influence future legal decisions. Concurring opinions are written at the same time as the majority opinion and are typically published alongside it.
