Edit - Law Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

The other reason for the delay is to allow courts to discover inadvertent errors in an opinion and correct those errors in the few days before a judgment enters, for example, if the opinion's concluding holding sentence gets the results contrary to everything the opinion was leading up to and a party or member of the public brings that to the court's attention (something that can happen, for example, by accidentally omitting the word "not" from a sentence, or putting the wrong number of zeros in the amount awarded).
