The first thing the Court does when releasing a decision is call a session of the Court to present the written opinion.

The justice who wrote the majority opinion will either read the opinion aloud to those assembled, or may summarize the opinion and discuss points of law involved. Those dissenting or concurring have an opportunity to address the courtroom (in order of seniority) after the opinion of the Court is delivered.

The Reporter of Decisions immediately publishes the final draft of the decision as a "Bench Opinion," which is subject to minor revisions and proofreading.

After the Bench Opinion has been approved, the Reporter issues the "Slip Opinion," which is printed in booklet form, published on the Supreme Court's website, and transmitted to various law schools and other agencies. The Slip Opinion is also subject to minor revision and indexing, although it is much closer to the final, bound form.

Eventually, the written opinions are published in bound volumes of United States Reports, the official government documentation of final, binding US Supreme Court decisions.
