<p>In <a href="page.php?w=law">law</a>, a <b>legal opinion</b> is in certain <a href="page.php?w=Jurisdiction">jurisdictions</a> a written explanation by a <a href="page.php?w=judge">judge</a> or group of judges that accompanies an <a href="page.php?w=Court_order">order or ruling</a> in a <a href="page.php?w=Legal_case">case</a>, laying out the rationale and legal principles for the ruling.  In other jurisdictions, a legal opinion is not an explanation from a judge, but an opinion from a lawyer, outlining their understanding of the law.</p>
