The Opinion
The complete 118-page slip opinion as filed April 21, 2026, including the majority, Ho concurrence, Oldham partial concurrence, and the dissents by Ramirez, Southwick, Haynes, and Higginson — alongside an 11-page classroom-condensed edition that preserves the original language. Toggle between them below.
The condensed edition preserves the court's original prose. Cuts are marked with
… (short omissions) or [… omitted …] (multi-paragraph deletions).
Tufte-style sidenotes and margin notes carry citations and pedagogical annotations.
An editing-notes section at the end records the word counts, reduction percentage (~87%), and sections substantially trimmed.
