Version 2.2.1
Federal appeal alerts and a new Guide page
- Federal appeal alerts now appear at the top of each decision page. Yellow Caution means the decision relies on authority later overturned; red Warning means the decision itself was reversed or modified on appeal; blue On appeal means a notice of appeal has been filed.
- Plain-language summaries are now available for decisions and rulings. Switch on the Summaries toggle in the results toolbar to read a quick overview of a case in the search results and at the top of its decision page.
- Issue Areas is now available as a search filter, making it easier to narrow results by topics like stay-put, compensatory education, evaluations, placement, discipline, and discovery.
- New Guide page covers searching syntax, the administrative-versus-federal-appeals scope toggle, the appeal alerts, and a label-by-label tour of a result card.
