2021 term opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2021 term of the Supreme Court of the United States began October 4, 2021, and will conclude October 2, 2022. The table below illustrates which opinion was filed by each justice in each case and which justices joined each opinion.
Decisions that do not note an argument date were decided without oral argument. Decisions that do not note a Justice delivering the Court's opinion are per curiam.
Multiple concurrences and dissents within a case are numbered, with joining votes numbered accordingly. Justices frequently join multiple opinions in a single case; each vote is subdivided accordingly.
An asterisk ( * ) in the Court's opinion denotes that it was only a majority in part or a plurality. An asterisk in a joining vote denotes that the justice joined it only in part.
A dash ( - ) denotes that the Justice voted without filing or joining an opinion.
Opinion counts only include the bench opinions listed above; opinions relating to orders or in-chambers opinions are not included.
Agreement with the Court's judgment does not guarantee agreement with the reasoning expressed in its opinion. A justice is not considered in agreement if they dissented even in part. Agreement percentages are based only on the listed cases in which a justice participated and are rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percentage point.
Individual opinion counts will not match the Court's totals; the dissent in National Federation of Independent Business v. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration that was jointly authored by Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan is counted separately for all three justices but counted only once in the Court's totals.
