Sounds like they go through a negotiation process to avoid such a situation.

The Collegial Process
"Appellate courts employ a collegial process to make decisions. Normally an odd number of judges decide a case, so there will be a majority that can formulate a decision.30 The court or the panel typically makes a preliminary decision in conference and a judge is assigned to write the majority opinion. In cases in which the judges have different views, the majority opinion and any dissenting opinion may go through several iterations as they circulate for comments".

"Judges are motivated in their decision making to fairly resolve the dispute between the parties according to the law, to produce a decision that is technically correct from a jurisprudential standpoint, and to consider the implications of a decision to the public in the future conduct of their affairs. Considering these factors may help counsel shape their arguments".
