This page contains rulings that affect future cases within the Justice Department. Summaries will include the Judge assigned, verdict, and precedent set by the case.

OOC: Not every US Case Law is recognized within MidwestRP. This is to make it easier for LEOs and Civilians not to need to know every case law ever created. However, every member, LEO or Civilian, is responsible for knowing when a case law is added and recognized by the community.
