The opinions and decisions made by the US Supreme Court define federal law. There is no higher court and no further appeal. All local, state and federal courts are essentially bound by the decisions of the USSC. If the USSC decision is not unanimous, the majority opinion is the binding decision.
majority opinion
This is known as written opinion (the legal reasoning behind a decision). It is written from the senior justice involved in the majority (so it is also the majority opinion). Others may write concurring opinions to support a decision for different reasoning, and dissenting opinions are written if some people are against the decision.
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.
They are both important, but the federal courts wield more power, as they can overrule a lower, state court's decision.
