Definition
Seeking an advisory judicial opinion involves requesting a court's guidance on a legal question, usually without the existence of an actual case or controversy. Such opinions are generally non-binding and are more common in some legal systems than others; for example, U.S. federal courts generally do not issue advisory opinions due to the "case or controversy" requirement under Article III of the Constitution.
