The US Supreme Court's first decision was released on August 3, 1791, in the case West v. Barnes, (1791).
Although West was the first case argued before the Court, the opinion and other documentation has been lost, so the case is not published. The space it would occupy in US Reports, the official publication of US Supreme Court opinions, is in Volume 2 at page 401 (the front of the book contained Pennsylvania Supreme Court decisions), where Oswald v. State of New York, 2 US 401 (1791) is printed.

Decisions by the Supreme Court are handed down through a process that involves the justices deliberating after hearing oral arguments in a case. Once a decision is reached, the majority opinion is drafted by one of the justices in the majority, outlining the legal reasoning behind the ruling. This opinion may be joined by other justices, and dissenting opinions can also be written by those who disagree with the majority.
