When will a justice write a dissenting opinion

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.
