• Source: 2007 term per curiam opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States

    • The Supreme Court of the United States handed down six per curiam opinions during its 2007 term, which began October 1, 2007 and concluded September 30, 2008.
    Because per curiam decisions are issued from the Court as an institution, these opinions all lack the attribution of authorship or joining votes to specific justices. All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted.

    Allen v. Siebert



    552 U.S. 3 Decided November 5, 2007.

    Stevens filed a dissent, joined by Ginsburg.
