Description
This course was approved for NOSSCR's Spring 2021 Virtual Conference. It is eligible for On-Demand credit, please check with karyn.reffsin@nosscr.org if you have questions about your states eligibility or check with your Bar Association for their rules and regulations.
This session will describe in detail how to teach a law school course on Social Security using a course book written by the session presenters. The session will begin with an overview of the contents of the book, Social Security Law, Policy, and Practice (published by West Academic in 2016, with annual updates), and the authors’ general approach to teaching the material. The book focuses primarily on disability law and practice, but it also includes sections on old age and survivors benefits and current policy issues. Model syllabi will be presented that demonstrate different ways to teach the course, ranging from an introductory course on social security law and policy to a specialized course on disability practice. Examples of selected class sessions will be presented as well, drawing on excerpts from the book and a Teachers Manual available to teachers using the book.

Apfel, 530 U.S. 103 (2000)—a case in which the high court also twice cited Dubin’s National Equal Justice Library Award-winning law review article and adopted the article’s doctrinal label, “issue exhaustion,” and reasoning in its decision. Dubin also successfully litigated and argued Sykes v. Apfel, 228 F.3d 259 (3rd Cir. 2000) which produced SSA “Acquiescence Ruling” (SSR 01-1(3)), agreeing to change policy and apply the Sykes case to thousands of disability claimants within the Third Circuit region each year.
