However, the traditional practice is not to do so. Courts will issue a brief statement of their conclusion in the specific case, but, except in unusual cases (such as a major controversy over the decision) they generally do not issued detailed explanations of (1) the exact details of the case and (2) what the relevant halachic issues are and how they reached their final conclusion. | |
