The Landmark Case List is a list of cases deemed
especially important by AAPL. From time to time,
AAPL makes changes in the
Landmark Case
List, reflecting the fact that important new
cases are decided, and older cases are either
supplanted, reversed, or are judged to be of lesser
significance. It is important to remember, however,
that the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology
(ABPN) does not recognize the AAPL Landmark Case
List, and so questions on the ABPN examination for
subspecialty certification in forensic psychiatry
are not limited to cases on that list.
