Judicial majority refers to the decision reached when more than half of the judges or justices in a court agree on a particular ruling or interpretation of the law. In appellate courts, this majority opinion sets a binding precedent for lower courts and future cases. The majority opinion typically outlines the legal reasoning behind the decision, while dissenting opinions may be written by judges who disagree. The concept underscores the importance of consensus in judicial decision-making.
