slip opinion

Read a random definition: common knowledge

A quick definition of slip opinion:

A slip opinion is a written statement by a court explaining its decision in a case. It includes the facts, points of law, and reasoning behind the decision. It can be cited as authority and is different from an unpublished opinion, which cannot be cited. A slip opinion is usually published individually before being released in a reporter. It is important because it helps people understand how the court reached its decision.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A written statement explaining a court's decision in a case, including the facts, points of law, rationale, and dicta. It is usually abbreviated as "op." and is also known as a judicial opinion. Slip opinions are published individually after being rendered and then collectively in advance sheets before being released for publication in a reporter. Unlike an unpublished opinion, a slip opinion can usually be cited as authority.

Example: A slip opinion is a court's written statement explaining its decision in a given case. It includes the facts, points of law, rationale, and dicta. For example, if a court decides a case involving a dispute over a contract, it will issue a slip opinion explaining its decision and the legal reasoning behind it. This slip opinion can be cited as authority in future cases.

Explanation: Slip opinions are important because they provide a written record of a court's decision and the legal reasoning behind it. They are published individually after being rendered and then collectively in advance sheets before being released for publication in a reporter. Unlike an unpublished opinion, a slip opinion can usually be cited as authority. This means that lawyers and judges can use the slip opinion to support their arguments in future cases.

Jackfrost has a point though, a good way to stand out with your apps is to do as much "optional" stuff as possible, including the interview

Defining “postmodernism” is a daunting task. One commentator has likened it to “trying to nail gelatin to a wall.” Part of the difficulty is postmodernism’s heterogeneity. As Angela Harris has noted, “There are as many different definitions of postmodernism as there are postmodernists.”
