Concurring opinion. In law, a concurring opinion is in certain legal systems a written opinion by one or more judges of a court which agrees with the decision made by the majority of the court, but states different (or additional) reasons as the basis for his or her decision.
If a justice disagrees with the majority opinion, he may write a dissenting opinion. If a justice agrees with the majority's conclusion but for different reasons, he may write a concurrence.
