Answer 1

Finally! I'm sorry it took so long, i was having some bad connection with the internet, here's the answer to your answer to your question...

The summary of a case and the reasoning behind the decision is called the Court's "Opinion." The Court's Opinion represents the constitutional theories, logic and case law supporting the majority decision. Individual justices may write, at their discretion, "concurring opinions," in which they explicate points not addressed in the Court's Opinion, expound their personal opinion on the case, or agree in judgment, but disagree with the reasoning. Justices may also write "dissenting opinions," where members who voted against the majority cite their reasons for believing the case should be handled differently. Other justices may "join" any other written opinion, which is an indication that they agree with and support the writer's conclusions. Under most circumstances, any published opinion may be cited in future litigation. ~from wiki answers
