OPINION ,
practice .
A declaration by a counsel to his client of what the law is ,
according to his judgment ,
on a statement of facts submitted to him .
The paper upon which an opinion is written is ,
by a figure of speech ,
also called an opinion .

The counsel should as far as practicable give ,
1 .
A direct and positive opinion ,
meeting the point and effect of the question and separately ,
if the questions proposed were properly divisible into several .
2 .
The reasons ,
succinctly stated ,
in support of such opinion .
3 .
A reference to the statute ,
rule or decision on the subject .
4 .
When the facts are susceptible of a small difference in the statement ,
a suggestion of the probability of such variation .
5 .
When some ,
important fact is stated as resting principally on the statement of the party interested ,
a suggestion ought to be made to inquire how that fact is to be proved .

OPINION ,
judgment .
A collection of reasons delivered by a judge for giving the judgment he is about to pronounce the judgment itself is sometimes called an opinion .
2 .
Such an opinion ought to be a perfect syllogism ,
the major of which should be the law ;
the minor ,
the fact to be decided and the consequence ,
the judgment which declares that to be conformable or contrary to law .
3 .
Opinions are judicial or extra -
judicial ;
a judicial opinion is one which is given on a matter which is legally brought before the judge for his decision ;
an extra -
judicial opinion ,
is one which although given in court ,
is not necessary to the judgment .

s Hist .

and whether given in or out of court ,
is no more than the prolatum of him who gives it ,
and has no legal efficacy .
