AnnotationTeaching about the formation and evolution of programmes and policies for older people is part of many courses in social gerontology; however, the course work often does not explore the role of case law in the formation of public policy. Two case studies are described which can be used in the classroom to demonstrate how US court decisions have changed gerontological policy and programmes. Also discussed are some of the fundamental concepts that these case studies illustrate. (KJ/RH).
