Four of the six opinions released from the N.C. Supreme Court today either reverse or vacate decisions from the N.C. Court of Appeals. A fifth opinion takes no official stance, allowing the appellate decision to stand.

Only one of the six new Supreme Court opinions affirms the appellate judges’ opinion in a modified form.

Those who’ve read Daren Bakst’s research into the N.C. Supreme Court might be interested in comparing this reversal rate to recent trends.
