The strongest type of Supreme Court opinion is a unanimous opinion of the Court, followed by a majority opinion.
The Latin phrase "per curiam" means "by the court". When a court which is composed of a panel of judges delivers a unanimous judgement, one judge will deliver an opinion "per curiam". The use of the phrase "per curiam" without the space between the words and in an adjectival as opposed to adverbial sense (as in the question) is not current worldwide, but may have a local use somewhere.
A slip opinion is a preliminary version of a court opinion that is released shortly after a court decision is made. It is not considered final or official until it is published in a bound volume. A published court opinion is the final, official version of a court decision that has been edited, reviewed, and released in a permanent format.

In US Supreme Court decisions, a concurring opinion is an opinion by one or more justices which agrees with the result the majority opinion reached but either for additional or other legal reasons which the majority opinion rests on. The writer of a concurring opinion is counted within the majority of justices who agreed on the ultimate result of the case, but disagrees in some way with the legal reasoning of the other justices. The concurring opinion sets forth that justice's own reasoning. In law, a concurring opinion is a written opinion by some of the judges of a court which agrees with the majority of the court but might arrive there in a different manner. In a concurring opinion, the author agrees with the decision of the court but normally states reasons different from those in the court opinion as the basis for his or her decision. When no absolute majority of the court can agree on the basis for deciding the case, the decision of the court may be contained in a number of concurring opinions, and the concurring opinion joined by the greatest number of jurists is referred to as the plurality opinion.In law, a concurring opinion is a written opinion by some of the judges of a court which agrees with the majority of the court but might arrive there in a different manner.
