🔷 Dissenting Opinion
➡️ When an appellate court reaches a verdict, it is common for a written opinion to be provided, announcing the court’s decision, and its reasoning behind arriving at that decision. When a panel of judges is involved, those judges who disagree with the majority vote may supply their own written opinions, expressing their reasons for dissenting. This is called a dissenting opinion. To explore this concept, consider the following dissenting opinion definition.
🔷 Definition of Dissenting Opinion
➡️ An opinion filed by a judge who disagrees with the majority decision in an appellate case.
