An opinion may refer to several different forms of legal judgment or advice.
In appellate courts such as the Supreme Court, it may describe the formal judicial reasoning delivered by a judge in a case.
A “counsel’s opinion” refers to written or oral legal advice given by a barrister on a particular legal issue or dispute.
Within European Union law, an Advocate-General may also provide an advisory opinion before the Court of Justice of the European Union gives its final judgment.
Although such opinions are influential, they are not binding decisions of the court itself.
