Per Curiam (Lat., “by the court”), an opinion rendered by the whole court or a majority of it, rather than being attributed to an individual judge. Originally used for summary dispositions of cases, the per curiam has sometimes been the vehicle for major opinions, for example,
Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).
