Abstract

The article argues that the publication of dissenting and concurring opinions is crucial for maintaining the integrity and transparency of the common law system. It contrasts the American practice of publishing separate opinions with civil law systems, where such opinions are often suppressed, and highlights the importance of these practices in reflecting democratic values and ensuring judicial accountability.
