How often courts cite this section
Court decisions citing this, by year.Markers show enactment, consequential amendments, and circuit splits over this section — watch for a citation surge after a change or a disagreement. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
It is the purpose of this subchapter to provide for allotments to support a Protection and Advocacy system (hereafter referred to in this subchapter as the “system”) in each State to protect the legal and human rights of individuals with developmental disabilities in accordance with section 6042 of this title.
