Not necessarily. The US Supreme Court sometimes issues per curiam opinions that are binding (on the instant case) but unsigned; however, these decisions do not set precedent for future cases.
the supreme court is made up of eight associates justices...and that is all i know SORRY! by the way that is not it there is one more but that is what i am searching for.
The Supreme Court of Virginia seats seven justices who are elected to twelve-year terms by a majority vote of both Houses of the Virginia General Assembly. In addition to the regular justices, the legislature may also select as many as five retired justices to one-year terms to assist and to hear cases when a regular justice is unavailable.
A simple majority vote of the justices who reviewed the case. Ideally, all nine justices would consider every case, but circumstances sometimes interfere with that.
The Supreme Court decides cases that are appealed by a lower court; a lower court has made a decision and one of the parties feels strongly enough that the decision was wrong that they make an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reviews the cases and determines which ones they will hear, they have the ability to decline to review a case. The Supreme Court doesn't hear only appeals, there are situations where it is the court of original jurisdiction. In situations where there is a disagreement between states, the Supreme Court has the authority to decide.
