Advisory Opinion

An advisory opinion is a formal opinion issued by a legal authority or a court that provides guidance on a specific legal question, but it is not legally binding. It typically addresses the legality or interpretation of laws or regulations and helps clarify how these should be applied in practice. Advisory opinions are often requested by government agencies, organizations, or individuals looking to understand their legal rights and obligations before taking action. While helpful in guiding decisions, they do not resolve disputes like a court ruling would.
