When the supreme court rules on a case how many opinions might be written to explain the verdict?

There is no mandated limit; however, the practical limit would be nine -- one for each member of the Court.
Only one opinion may be submitted as the official opinion of the Court; however, each justice is free to write a dissenting or concurring (or dissenting in part and concurring in part) opinion as part of the legal record. While concurring and dissenting opinions are unenforceable, they may be cited as precedent in future cases and sometimes become more influential than the original opinion of the Court.

What do the nine US Supreme Court justices deliver after they hear a case?
Opinions. The "Opinion of the Court" is the official, majority decision or verdict. Each justice may write his or her own opinion, most of which are either concurring or dissenting, although there are other types used less often. Any justice that agrees with the written opinion of another justice may sign, or "join" the author in his or her argument.For more information on US Supreme Court opinions, see Related Links, below.

Does a dissenting opinion from the US Supreme Court carry the force of law?
No, a dissenting opinion is written when a justice disagrees with the majority opinion (which carries the force of law). If a justice is writing a dissenting opinion, that means he or she voted with the minority group, and wants to explain the reason why he or she disagrees with the official Opinion of the Court.Dissenting opinions may be cited, but are not enforceable.

If the US Supreme Court votes 7-2 on a case what two decisions will be written?
Regardless of the US Supreme Court's decision, there is no guarantee any type of opinion will be written. Per curiam (unsigned) decisions rarely include written opinions. Other cases may include only a majority opinion (the "opinion of the Court"), because there is no requirement for the minority to write a dissenting opinion. There are many examples of split-votes that lack dissenting opinions, and some even include a concurring opinion from a member of the majority.If this is a homework question, the simplified answer is majority and dissenting.For more information about opinions, see Related Questions, below.
How are US Supreme Court written opinions assigned?
The "opinion of the Court" is synonymous with the Court's decision. The Opinion gives the verdict and explains the reasoning behind the decision reached. The privilege of writing the official opinion falls to the most senior justice in the majority group, or to the Chief Justice if he voted with the majority; this person may choose to write the opinion, or may assign the task to another member of the majority.If the justices who voted against the majority wish to issue a unified dissenting opinion, they decide amongst themselves who will author the opinion, then the others, if in agreement, will "join" the opinion.Individual justices may write their own opinions, regardless of whether they agree with the majority. Justices may also "join" or sign any other written opinion they agree with. This generally strengthens the opinion.All published opinions except for Per Curiam decisions may be used as precedent in future litigation.For more information about Supreme Court opinions, see Related Links, below.
