Court Rulings related to the profession of Structural Engineering
(OP)
Is anyone aware of a good resource that lists some (if not all) of the prominent court rulings related to construction industry or more specifically Structural Engineering? It would be a good means to educate ourselves about the so called good and bad practices of the profession. Thanks in advance.

I would suggest, since you have an interest, that you research one important term that applies to design professionals and, to a lesser degree, contractors.....the term is "Standard of Care". Understand its meaning and its application to your practice.

DPIC have since changed their name to XL Insurance, and the Contract Guide is available online here: XL Insurance Contract Guide
I imagine what you're looking for is also highly regional. Expectations seem to vary a bit region by region. For your area, would talk to a lawyer as Jed says or chat with your liability insurance representative (or both).

It's a reasonably readable book but it's probably much more theoretical than you're looking for. It does reference a huge number of court rulings if you're really sure that's what you want.
