Case Law Summaries

We have summarized all reported Social Security and SSI cases decided by the federal District Courts, the Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court since 1990. Beginning in 2022, only decisions from the Circuit Courts of Appeal and U.S. Supreme Court are included. The summaries are divided into over 80 topics, which are listed below.

Purchase Case Summaries

 

  • Purchase all of the topics within one or more circuits. This is our most popular option. This will show you how your circuit has been deciding Social Security disability cases. You can see which arguments have been most successful before your circuit judges, and how the courts view certain types of issues. You will know which cases have been issued as Acquiescence Rulings for your circuit. Decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court will be included with each circuit order.
  • Purchase the decisions of all circuits on one topic or multiple topics. This will show you how each circuit is deciding particular issues. If your circuit hasn’t ruled on an issue, you can see what has been successful in other circuits. You can also see if your circuit is in agreement with others.
  • Purchase all of the summaries from all circuits.
