  • You should try to read one! Skim it, I mean.

    I haven’t read this opinion specifically (and some of this probably won’t apply), but generally:

    They explain all of the relevant procedural stuff in detail, and even justifying how things are being handled, with citations. Then the basics about what happened, the arguments on each side. Discuss the relevant laws and relevant edge cases. They will talk about new submissions to the court, and basically tell the story of what happened legally (there was a hearing on x date, defense submitted new evidence on y date etc). Then they sort through all the bullshit as judges, saying what’s accurate/a good argument and what’s not. Then write their actual opinion. 100 pages is pretty standard from the ones I’ve seen.
