Simple Definition

A slip decision is a written statement by a court explaining its decision in a case. It includes the facts, points of law, and reasoning behind the decision. Sometimes, a court may also give an advisory opinion, which is a nonbinding statement about the law on a matter submitted for that purpose. Slip opinions are published individually after being rendered and then collectively in advance sheets before being released for publication in a reporter. They can be cited as authority, unlike unpublished opinions, which are not for publication and cannot be cited as authority.

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
