The Pentagon Papers Case (1971): New York Times Co. v. United States is often cited as having a massive number of opinions, with 9 or 10 separate, signed opinions (a per curiam ruling, six concurring opinions, and three dissenting opinions).
....and also from Google AI....
Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857): This case is another historical example with nine separate opinions (a majority, six concurrences, and two dissents), reflecting a completely fractured court on a crucial issue.
Modern Cases: Recent high-profile cases, such as Bruen (gun rights) and Trump v. United States (presidential immunity), have featured up to four separate concurring or dissenting opinions in addition to the majority.

Had to look up "per curiam". Means "by the court", and is unsigned.
