In the West, the judges (courts don't write sh1t- they are inanimate objects) write "unpublished opinions."

This is HOW they f*ck us in the West! I was a teenager when, at️ a Sunday barbecue, I witnessed my College's general advisor, the US attorney for an entire district, discussing this "off-the-record" with a district judge and appellate judges at his home.

Here's Chatgpt's definition of "unpublished opinions:"
----------------------------------
Appellate courts write "unpublished opinions" for several reasons:
1. Judicial Economy
- Resource Management: Unpublished opinions save time and resources by not requiring the extensive legal reasoning and detailed writing that published opinions demand.
- Efficiency: They allow courts to handle a high volume of cases more efficiently, focusing detailed analysis and writing efforts on cases that establish new or significant︀ legal principles.
2. Case Specificity
- Lack of Precedential Value: Unpublished opinions often deal with︁ straightforward applications of existing law to specific facts, without addressing new or complex legal issues.︂
- Routine Matters: These opinions typically resolve issues that are not expected to guide future cases,︃ making them less useful as precedent.
3. Avoiding Overload
- Precedent Management: Publishing every opinion︄ could lead to an overwhelming number of precedents, making legal research and the application of︅ case law more cumbersome for lawyers and judges.
- Clarity and Consistency: Limiting published opinions helps︆ maintain a clearer and more manageable body of case law.
4. Flexibility for the Court︇
- Non-Binding Decisions: Unpublished opinions provide the court with flexibility to issue decisions without the︈ binding effect of precedent, allowing them to address specific case facts without broader implications.
- Error Correction: They often serve as a means to correct lower court errors without making a︉ broader legal statement.
5. Internal Court Policies
- Court Rules: Many appellate courts have rules︊ or guidelines determining which opinions are published based on criteria such as the novelty of︋ legal issues or public interest.
- Discretion: Judges have discretion to decide whether an opinion should︌ be published based on its significance and potential impact on future cases.
Conclusion
Unpublished opinions︍ allow appellate courts to manage their workload effectively, maintain a clear body of precedent, and︎ address case-specific issues without broader legal implications. These opinions do not carry precedential value.-----------------------------
