What type of opinion is written to make a point that was not made in the opinion of the Court?
A Justice may write a concurring opinion, which sometimes says "concurring in judgment only," if he or she votes with the majority but either disagrees with the logic used to arrive at the decision; agrees with part of the decision, but disagrees with another part; or wants to address relevant points not made in the majority opinion. When there is a clear majority opinion joined by a substantial number of Justices, concurring opinions can help strengthen a case and may be cited as precedent in future cases.Sometimes the court issues so many separate opinions that whichever opinion is joined by the most justices is referred to as a plurality, rather than a majority. One recent example of a decision holding a plurality opinion is that of Baez et al., v. Rees (2008), where Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Kennedy and Alito signed one opinion, and Justice Stevens wrote a separate concurring opinion, as did Justices Scalia, Breyer, and Thomas (Scalia also joined Thomas' concurrence). Justice Ginsberg wrote a dissenting opinion in which Justice Souter joined.There are also a number of cases where members of the majority each wrote a concurring opinion, without creating a unified majority or plurality opinion, as well as cases where the court decision was released without the signature of any justice, in an anonymous fashion. This latter form is known as a per curiamdecision. Bush v. Gore (2000) is a recent example. Cases decided per curiam do not create a precedent that can be cited in future litigation.Plurality and per curiam decisions tend to create confusion as to how a federal or constitutional law is to be interpreted.
Were there any concurring opinions in the US Supreme Court case Terry v. Ohio?
Terry v. Ohio, 392 US 1 (1968)Yes. Justice Hugo Black issued a brief opinion that concurred in judgment and opinion with a few minor exceptions:"MR. JUSTICE BLACK concurs in the judgment and the opinion except where the opinion quotes from and relies upon this Court's opinion in Katz v. United States and the concurring opinion in Warden v. Hayden."Justice Byron White wrote:"There is nothing in the Constitution which prevents a policeman from addressing questions to anyone on the streets. Absent special circumstances, the person approached may not be detained or frisked but may refuse to cooperate and go on his way. However, given the proper circumstances, such as those in this case, it seems to me the person may be briefly detained against his will while pertinent questions are directed to him. Of course, the person stopped is not obliged to answer, answers may not be compelled, and refusal to answer furnishes no basis for an arrest, although it may alert the officer to the need for continued observation."For more information, see Related Questions, below.
