Rescinded job offer - in Goldfarb v. Solimine, the court considered a claim by an individual who quit a high paying job to accept another, only to have the offer withdrawn after he quit.

Reasonable accommodations - in Daniel v. Walmart the court considered what steps an employee has to take to request an accommodation.

Disability discrimination - in Baltz v. Ledstri Foods, the court considered the claim of an employee with good reviews who was terminated after a request for an accommodation; email exchanges between managers provided significant evidence in the case.
