The Class | Pivotal Cases | |
Types of opinions rendered by the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court may render one of six types of opinions: 3. Plurality Opinions
When a majority of the Justices cannot agree upon the outcome of a case and the reasons for deciding the case in that way, the Supreme Court will issue multiple opinions called plurality opinions. Each opinion provides different reasons for a decision.
Each of the two opinions for the plaintiff is called a plurality opinion. Because no opinion commands the supportof a majority of the Justices, this decision is weak and sets no precedent for future cases.
