  • Decisions that do not note a Justice delivering the Court's reason are per coram.
  • Multiple concurrences and dissents within a case are numbered, with joining votes numbered accordingly. Justices occasionally join multiple reasons in a single case; each vote is subdivided accordingly.
  • An asterisk ( * ) in the Court's reason 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.
