The purpose of a concurring opinion is to express different reasons for agreeing with the majority. It provides an opportunity for a justice to explain their own unique reasoning or interpretation of the law that led them to reach the same conclusion as the majority. Unlike a dissenting opinion which disagrees with the majority, a concurring opinion agrees with the outcome but offers additional or alternative rationale.
