The Supreme Court of the United States handed down twelve ''per curiam'' opinions during its 2002 term, which lasted from October 7, 2002, until October 5, 2003.〔Three opinions have not been summarized here due to their lack of substantive content: ''Ford Motor Co. v. McCauley'', dismissed certiorari as improvidently granted. ''Borden Ranch Partnership v. Army Corps of Engineers'', merely stated that the lower court's judgment was affirmed by an equally divided Court. Justice Kennedy did not participate. ''Dow Chemical Co. v. Stephenson'', vacated in part and remanded the lower court's decision with regard to two of the six respondents for further consideration in light of ''Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. v. Henson'', . With regard to the remaining four respondents, the opinion noted that the judgment was affirmed by an equally divided Court. 〕 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. ==Court membership== Chief Justice: William Rehnquist Associate Justices: John Paul Stevens, Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2002 term per curiam opinions of the Supreme Court of the United States」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
