Question

Which term refers to an opinion written by a justice in the majority that outlines additional considerations he or she thinks are important?

Answer 1

Answer:

Concurring opinions

Explanation:

Concurring opinions are those that agree with the majority decision, but outline additional elements. This could be because a particular judge reached the same outcome as the majority but did so due to different reasons. It could also be that the judge wants to bring attention to additional details not considered in the majority decision. Although concurring opinions are not binding precedent, they can be useful as a type of persuasive argument.

Answer 2

I believe the correct answer is: Concurring opinion.

     The concurring opinion is the term used in law that refers to an opinion written by judge/judges of court which agrees with the majority, but outlines additional considerations (different reasons) he or she thinks are important.
     Even though Concurring opinions can’t change the final decision, but can serve as a persuasive argument for lawyers, in many legal systems these opinions are not reported as the court "speaks with one voice".
