A opinion is a opinion, or failing that, a judgment, especially one made by a specialist in the matter in question, which is formed or issued on something or someone.
Opinion or judgment made by a specialist about a matter or the sentence of a court or judge
Although it is a very widespread word, in reality, its use is very popular in the judicial and legislative contexts.
Now, we cannot ignore or not mention that it is usually applied to all that opinion or assessment that is made about something or someone, for example, the one that an individual makes about the personality of another, and that is usually the result of his experience and the impression he has made on you.
It is also usually applied to the opinions that come from specialists such as experts in any field, psychologists, psychiatrists, who are summoned when it is necessary to obtain precise information that is only known exclusively to those who have thoroughly studied a subject.
Thus, for example, a psychiatric expert will be able to determine through his analysis if a person who committed a crime was in full exercise of his powers when he did it or if he was dominated by a process in which he did not know what he was doing when for example he killed his wife.
There are people who suffer psychotic outbreaks, for example, and who can commit acts that injure third parties, in these cases professionals such as those mentioned intervene to find out if that person can face a judicial process and be punished for the act committed or if it should be held in a mental rehabilitation clinic.
Then, in any of the areas mentioned above, the opinion will be that sentence or judicial resolution issued by a judge or by a court, whose purpose will be that of put an end to a pending litigation or case that had been filed in any of these contexts.
The main function of an opinion is to recognition of any right or reason of some of the parties that are confronted in the litigationMeanwhile, once the judge or court issues its opinion, the other party that was not benefited by the opinion in question must accept the result and comply with it to the letter, because otherwise it may be plausible of a punishment.
In a trial you can acquit or convict someone
At the request of Criminal law, an opinion may acquit or convict an individual accused of x crime. If the opinion says that he is not guilty of the action for which he was blamed, he will of course be free of charge and will regain his freedom if the process awaited him in prison, on the other hand, if the opinion determines that he is guilty, then, He will be charged with the penalty established by current regulations for having committed such a crime.
Types of opinions
There are four types of opinions: condemnatory (the judge responds favorably to the claim of the person suing), acquittal (the judge will agree with the accused), firm (The filing of any type of appeal after the opinion will not be accepted) and actionable (It is feasible to file an appeal after the ruling).
The filing of resources, claims, or appeals, is a very common and common matter in the courts when a judge or court issues an opinion on a case.
Those who have not obtained what they considered fair, an acquittal, a conviction for the perpetrator, an economic compensation, among other issues, will ask the judge before a higher court to review that opinion and to proceed on a case-by-case basis to change the decision.
Obviously, this new judicial step will imply the presentation of evidence and many other measures aimed at obtaining a favorable opinion that was not obtained in a timely manner.
Also, the new court or judge that intervenes must analyze the previous process that was followed and that gave rise to the sentence that is claimed.
The result may be to endorse the decision made in a timely manner by the judge of first instance, or, failing that, to give effect to the plaintiff's request because it is considered to be right.
This situation of course lengthens judicial processes and is sometimes contradictory in the objective of doing justice in a corresponding and rapid manner, especially in those countries in which justice is highly co-opted by the executive power in power.
Document that is analyzed, discussed and voted on by the Legislative Power and that acquires the character of a norm after that
On the other hand, in the legislative sphere, an opinion is called document analyzed, discussed, voted and approved by the majority of the members of a legislative commission. Once approved, it is considered as a constitutive legislative act that certifies its compliance.
