When the Supreme Court finishes reviewing a case and reaches a decision, the final step is for an opinion to be delivered in court. The opinion is a written explanation of the Court's decision, including the legal reasoning behind it. Typically, the opinion is read aloud in court by one of the justices, although in some cases, justices may deliver oral summaries of their opinions. The delivery of an opinion marks the conclusion of the Court's decision-making process and provides the Court's final stance on the case at hand.
