Answer: A lawyer trying to understand why a particular Supreme Court justice is often agreed with the court's rulings, but not the reasoning behind them, should study that justice' Concurring Opinion.

Explanation:The opinion of the court mostly depends om the majority opinion which represents the opinion of the justices in hearing a case which tends to give a standard for the interpretation and application of laws.

A concurring opinion is one that agrees with the Court's ruling based on the outcome by the majority opinion but fails to agree with the reason of the majority opinion, but when no majority agree on a decision for a case, and the decision is then made from the decision of some judges, it becomes plurality opinion.
