WORD/ DOCTRINE OF THE DAY
“Per Curiam Decision/ Opinion”The term per curiam is Latin for “by the court”. Per curiam decision or opinion is by the court as a whole rather than by a single justice and usually without extended discussion. Per curiam decisions tend to be short. In modern practice, they are most commonly used in summary decisions that the Court resolves without full argument and briefing. |
