Concurring opinion.  \n\nA written opinion by an appellate judge or justice in which the author agrees with the decision of the court but normally states reasons different from those in the court opinion as the basis for his or her decision.\n\nThere are two kinds of concurring. A simple concurring opinion is when some justices join the opinion of the court but also has something else to add. Concurring in judgment means that they agree with the judgement but not the reasoning.

Are you looking for a "transcript" or an "opinion" of the court?  If you're seeking only the written opinion, you can get it from Westlaw or http://www.courts.state.co.us/\n\nHowever, if you do, indeed, want an actual transcript of a hearing, plan on spending a lot of money.  Your best bet is to contact the Clerk of the Court (can be found at the website mentioned earlier) and request a copy.  It is likely that a deposit will be required -- transcripts aren't cheap.

its probably a little obvious, but you could use a gavel for judicial, and maybe a megaphone for executive since their voice is heard loudest and overrules the others.  maybe a pen and paper for legislative.  they're all supposed to balance each other, but executive should be the middle and highest because it can veto or declare martial law (i think) on it's own without the other branches approval.  i would put judicial above legislative because the supreme court is a smaller group than the legislature, and because they have the power to over rule or make rulings about previous laws and such when they are taken to court.  hope that helps...  :-)

Here is how to write a memorandum of law.\n\n1.         Look at a sample memorandum or several sample memoranda of law. They will give you an idea. Every opinion of the Supreme Court is a memorandum of law. Here is a link to an opinion of the Supreme Court: http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/griffin.html You can do a Google search to find a memorandum of law on the subject that you desire. This will save you from re-inventing the wheel. I have some sample memoranda of law that I wrote. \n\n            a.         There are more than 100 winning briefs linked to this following page: http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/traffic.html \n\n            b.         Here is a fat memorandum of law that took me a year to write: http://www.lawyerdude.8m.com/Lsdbrief.html \n\n            c.          Here are some of my briefs: http://www.lawyerdude.8k.com/right2drive.html \n\n \n\n2.         Write like you are talking to your Uncle Bob. Explain in simple words what happened to you and what the law is and what you want the court to do.\n\n \n\n3.         Optional: For advanced computer users. Somewhere on the front page give a web address for this brief that you are writing. This will permit people to upgrade from paper to a page on their screen. From the web version they will be able to make the hyperlinks work.\n\n \n\n4.         Write the statement of law that you want to prove: Example: “I was entitled to effective assistance of counsel. The court denied me effective assistance of counsel. The remedy for this denial is dismissal. I am entitled to dismissal in this case.”\n\n \n\n5.         Try to disassemble your point into subdivisions. Example: In the above statement of law there are several subdivisions:\n\n            a.         I was entitled to effective assistance.\n\n            b.         The remedy is dismissal.\n\n            c.          I am entitled to dismissal.\n\n \n\n6.         You will be able to divide each point into further subdivisions.\n\n \n\n7.         Now comes the heart of this work: You must find cases, statutes, rules, and constitutional provisions to support your points. If this is a criminal case then I can help you. The top 143 most important criminal cases are here at this list: http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/weinreb.html \n\n \n\n8.         When you find a case to support your point, then extract the key sentence and insert it into the brief. Change the margins to 2 inches and 2 inches. This alerts the reading eye that you have a quotation from a case or statute. This is called “setting off” the quoted phrase.\n\n \n\n9.         This following part is new - and optional: You will notice that I generally provide a hyperlink to the case or statute on the internet. This saves time for the reader - and you. “But, aha!” you say. “From the paper copy nobody can use the hyperlink! So why insert one?” My answer: If you have uploaded your brief to the internet, then your reader can download your brief to his computer and he will use the internet version - where the hyperlinks work. Nobody will read your brief more than you will. You may as well learn to hyperlink and save yourself time in the long run - and thereby increase the odds that the judge will read your brief. Within your brief provide a link to each case that you cite as referrence. Better yet: Link to the pertinent sentence in the Supreme Court case that you are citing in your brief.\n\n \n\n10.       Weave the facts and the law.\n\n            a.         Quote the facts from a transcript if possible.\n\n            b.         If you don’t have a transcript then write a declaration of facts. This is one part of a motion. See Motion 101: http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/6025.html \n\n \n\n11.       It may sound silly, but sometimes the quotation in a case will say exactly what you want to say. In that case. Make your point. Then follow it with the exact quotation from the case. Of course, the quotation will be set off with margins of left

A "per curiam" decision is a decision delivered via an opinion issued in the name of the Court rather than specific justices. Most decisions on the merits by the Supreme Court (and other appellate courts in the U.S.) take the form of one or more opinions signed by individual justices (and joined in by others). Even when such signed opinions are unanimous, they are not termed "per curiam." "Per curiam" decisions are given that label by the Court itself and tend to be short. Usually, though not always, they deal with issues the Court views as relatively non-controversial.

That trial was ultimately heard before the Supreme Court. Their opinion is at the site below. The ruling goes over the District ruling in detail.\n\nEdit:\nDon't pay for that crap in the site above. It's just a poorly written essay about the cases, not the opinion itself, which is available freely below.

it's each justice's individual decision on a case.  actually, they're not required to write one, but they often do for legal clarification purposes

A logical appeal proceeds by separating arguments from mere opinions, and then by separating valid from invalid arguments.\n\nAn emotional appeal doesn't, you idiot! [kidding of course :) ]

The order of the parties in case reporting is quite a complex question.\nUsually for the trial level case the party listed first if the party bringing a legal motion and the party listed second is the one defending.\n\nThe same is often true for the appeal level cases, The party who lost on the trial level and is now bringing a motion to appeal, is listed first. This leads to interesting namings:\nSay A sued B (case is called A v. B)\nSay A won and B appealed the case to the Court of Appeals -- now the case is called B v. A. \nSay the court of appeals reversed and held that B wins. Now A appeals the case to the Supreme court -- now the case is A v. B again.\n\nHowever there are weird cases -- when the party that won appeals the case (say because they think that the damages are inadequate)\nOr when both parties appeal the decision.\n\nIn cases like this each court has it's own policies.

Obviously you are a pro per/pro se plaintiff. Opposing counsel is apparently making the matter into a federal case. Which circuit court? Read rule 12 to see exactly what it means when filing pre trail statement. Have you conducted Discovery by presenting the defendant with a request for admissions and interrogatives? \n\nI use http://www.nolo.com for my legal matters, most all libraries have copies of their popular books (Represent Yourself At Court), they are consider by many as the industry standard.
