Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Judicial opinions A plurality opinion is the opinion from a group of judge justice s, often in an appellate court , in which no single opinion received the support of a majority of the court. The plurality opinion did not receive the support of half the justices, but received more support than any other opinion. In Marks v. United States , 430 U.S. 188 1977 , the Supreme Court of the United States explained how the holding of a case should be viewed where there is no majority supporting the rationale of any opinion When a fragmented Court decides a case and no single rationale explaining the result enjoys the assent of the majority , the holding of the Court may be viewed as that position taken by those Members who concurred in the judgments on the narrowest grounds. Marks , 430 U.S. at 193. The Marks Rule has raised the following schools of thought regarding the appropriate basis for determining the holding in such fractured cases a the narrowest analysis essential to the result derived from a combination of all concurring opinions b the concurring opinion offering the narrowest rationale or c only those parts of the concurring opinions which overlap and arrive at the same result. For example, if one follows the first interpretation, then the holding in the case should be viewed as the narrowest rationale supported by all of the concurring opinions read together as though it were a single majority opinion, and where there is a conflict, the opinion based on the narrowest ground governs. Followers of the second rationale would find the concurring opinion offering the narrowest analysis to be the holding. Whereas, under the third interpretation, only the rationale s common to all concurring opinions which arrive at the same result s and to the exclusion of all other rationales is considered the holding.

Judicial opinions A dissenting opinion or dissent is an Legal opinionopinion in a legal case written by one or more judge s expressing disagreement with the majority opinion of the court which gives rise to its judgment. A dissenting opinion does not create stare decisis binding precedent or become part of case law . However, dissenting opinions are sometimes cited as persuasive authority when arguing that the court s Holding law holding should be limited or overturned. In some cases, a dissent in an earlier case is used to spur a change in the law, and a later case will write a majority opinion for the same rule of law cited by the dissent in the earlier case. The dissenting opinion may disagree with the majority for any number of reasons a different interpretation of the case law, use of different principles, or a different interpretation of the facts. Dissents are written at the same time as the majority opinion, and are often used to dispute the reasoning used by the majority. A dissent in part is a dissenting opinion which disagrees only with some specific part of the majority holding. In decisions that require multi part holdings because they involve multiple legal claims or consolidated cases, judges may write an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Judicial opinions In law , a majority opinion is a judicial opinion agreed to by more than half of the members of a court . A majority opinion sets forth the Case law decision of the court and an explanation of the rationale behind the court s decision. Not all cases have a majority opinion. At times, the justices voting for a majority decision e.g., to affirm or reverse the lower court s decision may have drastically different reasons for their votes, and cannot agree on the same set of reasons. In that situation, several concurring opinion s may be written, none of which is actually the view of a majority of the members of the court. Therefore, the concurring opinion joined by the greatest number of judges is referred to as the plurality opinion . Normally, appellate courts or panels are staffed with an odd number of judges to avoid a tie. Sometimes when judicial positions are vacant or a judge has recused himself or herself from the case, the court may be stuck with a tie, in which case the lower court s decision will be affirmed without comment by an equally divided court. A majority opinion in countries which use the common law system becomes part of the body of case law .

Opinion 2027 is a ruling of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature ICZN concerning the conserved name conservation of 17 species names of wildlife wild animals with domestication domestic derivatives. ref cite web title Opinion 2027 Case 3010 Usage of 17 specific names based on wild species which are pre dated by or contemporary with those based on domestic animals Lepidoptera, Osteichthyes, Mammalia conserved author International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature url http www.iczn.org BZNMar2003opinions.htm ref Opinion 2027 is in response to Case 3010 and subsequent comments. ref cite web url http www.iczn.org BZNMar2002comments.htm comment3010 59 1 title Comment on the proposed conservation of usage of 15 mammal specific names based on wild species which are antedated by or contemporary with those based on domestic animals author Anthea Gentry, Juliet Clutton Brock, and Colin P. Groves ref The 17 names involved Bombyx mandarina Bos gaurus Bos mutus Bos primigenius Bubalus arnee Camelus ferus Canis lupus Capra aegagrus Carassius gibelio Cavia aperea Equus africanus Equus ferus Felis silvestris Lama guanicoe Mustela putorius Ovis orientalis Vicugna vicugna The significance of this ruling is that if these wild animals and their domesticated derivatives are regarded as one species, then the scientific name of that species is the scientific name of the wild animal. These 17 species of wild animals were named later than the relevant domestic animals, hence the use of the ICZN provision for conservation.
