Terms of Use

Hall Approved is a free public archive of American court opinions, with plain-language summaries and citation-treatment analysis. By using this site, you agree to the terms below.

Not legal advice

The summaries, analyses, and citation-treatment indicators on this site are general legal information, not legal advice, and do not create an attorney-client relationship. Every case turns on its own facts. Consult a licensed attorney before acting on anything you read here.

Verify before you rely

Some content on this site, including case summaries and the “Can I rely on this case?” analysis, is generated with the help of automated tools and may contain errors or omissions. Treatment indicators (whether a later court followed, criticized, limited, or overruled a case) are derived from citing opinions in this archive and may be incomplete. Always read the full opinion and confirm its current validity against an official source before relying on it.

Source and accuracy of the data

Case-law data is sourced from CourtListener and the Free Law Project. We make no warranty that the data is complete, accurate, or current. The archive may not include every opinion, and coverage varies by court and year.

No warranty

This site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, anything on this site.
