1999 term per curiam opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Supreme Court of the United States handed down eleven per curiam opinions during its 1999 term, which began October 4, 1999 and concluded October 1, 2000.[1]

Because per curiam decisions are issued from the Court as an institution, these opinions all lack the attribution of authorship or joining votes to specific justices. All justices on the Court at the time the decision was handed down are assumed to have participated and concurred unless otherwise noted.
