Can I browse all released California WCAB panel decisions?+−
Yes. This list is the released corpus, filterable by issue and outcome, kind, year, district office, Labor Code section, or holding. Each row is the ADJ number, disposition, and official PDF — not a claimant name.
Should I search by facts instead?+−
If you have a dispute to paste, use /explore. This page is for scanning or filtering the whole set, not ranking by similarity.
Why is an older panel missing?+−
Most of the ordinary panel archive here starts in 2021. En banc files go further back. Coverage and the gaps are listed on /california/coverage. Filtered views are not separate indexable pages.
Published panel decisions, almost all since 2021: the litigated tail of a system that mostly settles. Issues and outcomes were extracted by AI and released only where the source passage checked. A row is a decision, never a claimant. Not legal advice.
