When will a justice write a dissenting opinion?
A dissenting opinion is written when a justice disagrees with the majority opinion (which carries the force of law). If a justice is writing a dissenting opinion, that means he or she voted with the minority group, and wants to explain the reason why he or she disagrees with the official Opinion of the Court. Dissenting opinions may be cited, but are not enforceable.
What do justices do after hearing a case?
They discuss the case in one or more scheduled conferences, then vote to determine the verdict. The Chief Justice or most senior justice in the majority group writes, or assigns writing, the official opinion of the Court.The opinion is then circulated amongst the justices for comments and suggestions. Other justices may write concurring or dissenting opinions. When the Court is satisfied that the work is complete, they announce their decision.
