Gerry Schulze spends about a third of his time on Social Security Disability cases. Gerry has a long connection with the Social Security Disability system. Gerry's father was an administrative law judge with the Social Security Administration when Gerry was growing up and well into the time of his law practice.
Of course, Social Security disability cases do not get much publicity. Gerry Schulze has been involved in a number of high-profile cases. In 2012 Gerry handled several cases that got media attention, including Broussard v. St. Edward Mercy Medical System, 2012 Ark. 14, in which the Arkansas Supreme Court struck down the "same specialty" requirement for expert witnesses in medical negligence cases, Bismarck School District v. Sims, 2012 Ark. App. 239, in which the wrongful discharge of a school counselor was overturned by the courts, Cannady v. St. Vincent Infirmary, 2012 Ark. 369, in which the Arkansas Supreme Court ruled that Anne Pressly's parents could go forward to trial on a claim arising out of the wrongful viewing of their daughter's medical records, and Smith v. Rebsamen Medical Center, 2012 Ark. 441 in which the Supreme Court ruled that one circuit court has no jurisdiction to disregard a decision of a parallel circuit court.

Gerry Schulze
Gerry Schulze was born in Russellville, Arkansas, on March 1, 1958. His father practiced law in Russellville until 1974, when he took a job as an Administrative Law Judge for the Social Security Administration. Judge Schulze worked for the Social Security Administration in Macon, Georgia; Mayagüez, Puerto Rico; New Orleans, Louisiana; and, Little Rock, Arkansas, where Gerry now lives with his family. He went to school where his family lived, with the exception of one year of law school in Fayetteville. Gerry went to the University of Puerto Rico in Mayagüez for his first two years of college, taking many of his classes in Spanish. He finished his college career at Loyola University in New Orleans. From there, he went to Fayetteville to begin law school, but when his father was transferred to Little Rock, he moved to Little Rock to finish law school at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
In 1975, in Macon, Georgia, Gerry met Helena McGill. In 1983, shortly after Gerry graduated from law school, Gerry and Helena were married. They have two sons, Christopher and Benjamin. Christopher is in his senior year at Hendrix College in Conway. Benjamin is in his sophomore year at Lisa Academy, a charter school in Little Rock.
Gerry Schulze concentrates his practice as much as possible in the areas of legal research and writing. He is active in continuing legal education in the fields of appellate law, legal writing, insurance law, social security law, personal injury, procedure, and the law of expert witnesses.
