Advisory opinion
An advisory opinion is an opinion
issued by a court that does not
have the effect of resolving a specific
legal case, but merely advises on
the constitutionality or interpretation
of a law. Some countries have procedures
by which the executive or legislative
branches may certify important questions
to the judiciary and obtain an advisory
opinion.
