A Chancellor is required to write a detailed opinion on each case tried, setting out findings of fact and conclusions of law. My work on the bench included conducting the trials, making rulings on evidence and motions, and concluding with an opinion, either rendered orally from the bench or taken underconsideration and rendered in due course.
