After the Supreme Court reaches a decision on a case, a justice is assigned to write the opinion of the Court (the majority opinion). Justices in agreement may choose to write a concurring opinion, while justices who disagree may write a dissenting opinion.
Brief definitions:
- Majority (opinion of the Court): explains the reasoning agreed to by a majority of justices and sets binding precedent.
- Concurring opinion: agrees with the outcome but for different or additional reasons.
- Dissenting opinion: disagrees with the majority’s outcome and reasoning.
(Other forms include per curiam opinions—unsigned—and plurality opinions when no single rationale commands a majority.)
