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.
Multiple unnumbered reasons are jointly written or delivered.
Decisions that are given orally from the bench are denoted by a "V"; per coram decisions delivered orally from the bench only note a "V" on the most senior justice on the panel.
An asterisk ( * ) in the Court's opinion denotes that it was only a majority in part or a plurality.
