Question

What are the three type of opinions that the supreme court can issue on a case

Answer 1

Answer:

1) majority opinion, which states the decision of the majority of the Court, usually at least five of the justices.  Almost every case has a majority opinion. It expresses the reasons the court is deciding the case the way it is.

2) concurring opinion, which is the opinion of one or more justices who voted with the majority, but for differing legal reasons.

(ex. the flag burning cases. One of the Justices agreed with the majority, but had a separate opinion: "the conduct was disgusting, but protected.")

3) dissenting opinion, this is the kind of opinion when the justice writing it disagrees with the result of the majority opinion.
