What is Understanding Dissent in Legal Judgments about?

The document discusses dissenting judgments in courts of last resort. It argues that dissenting judgments are an important part of democracy as they help manage disagreement between incommensurable values in law and keep options open. Dissents signal fundamental disagreements that often involve balancing deontological and consequentialist values or different views of the judicial role. Because outcomes can change, dissents are as important as majorities in identifying choices and legal principles.
