In fact, not only Supreme Court, but in every court, there are Thought-Leaders, they lay down new principles of law, they lead society in better directions.
Normally, these Lead Thoughts are found in judgements of court. But Judges are not the only Thought Leaders. There is team work involved.
The case presents a complex situation. Then suddenly a new thought strikes to a Junior advocate. He checks his new thoughts in existing law books and commentaries. He becomes clear. He discusses it with some senior advocates or with colleagues.
The lead thought is presented by him to Judge. The other side puts counter arguments. The Judge reflects and decides. He discusses with other judges. Contemplates.
And then he writes judgement. It becomes a lead Judgement.
This is a collective process. Inputs come from various thought leaders.
