2007 Term Opinions of the Court
Slip Opinions, Per Curiams (PC), and Original Case Decrees
(D)
The "slip" opinion is the second version of an opinion. It is sent to the printer later in the day
on which the "bench" opinion is released by the Court. Each slip opinion has the same elements as the
bench opinion--majority or plurality opinion, concurrences or dissents, and a prefatory syllabus--but
may contain corrections not appearing in the bench opinion. The slip opinions collected here are those
issued during October Term 2007 (October 1, 2007, through September 30, 2008). These opinions are posted on the Website
within minutes after the bench opinions are issued and will remain posted until the opinions for the
entire Term are published in the bound volumes of the United States Reports. For further information,
see Column Header Definitions and the file entitled
Information About Opinions.
Caution: These electronic opinions may contain computer-generated errors or other deviations
from the official printed slip opinion pamphlets. Moreover, a slip opinion is replaced within a few
months by a paginated version of the case in the preliminary print, and--one year after the issuance
of that print--by the final version of the case in a U. S. Reports bound volume. In case of discrepancies
between the print and electronic versions of a slip opinion, the print version controls. In case of
discrepancies between the slip opinion and any later official version of the opinion, the later version
controls.
