Abstract
It has been almost forty years since Congress created the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit with the goal of ensuring uniform and definitive judicial interpretations of the law applicable to Federal Government contracting. Because, like that of the Court of Claims before it, the precedent of the Federal Circuit guides how procurement laws are interpreted, it is important for practitioners and those whose livelihoods depend on government contracting to pay attention to the decisions that the Federal Circuit issues.
