Ten out of 15 (66 percent) of the opinions issued by an author were unanimous. Two additional opinions, Kenworth v. Seventy-Seven Limited and A.M. v. State of Indiana, were unanimous with the exception of either a partial concurrence or a concurrence in the judgment with a separate opinion. Only three opinions by an author and the one opinion on rehearing contained a dissenting opinion—State v. Timbs (Justice Slaughter dissenting), C.S., Jr./Z.T. v. State (Justice David concurring in part/dissenting in part), American Consulting v. Hannum Wagle & Cline (Justice Slaughter concurring in part/dissenting in part), and IBM v.
