Goldberg'', 453 U.S. 57 (1981), upholding the constitutionality of requiring men but not women to register for the draft; ''Selective Service v. Minnesota Public Interest Research Group (MPIRG)'', 468 U.S. 841 (1984), upholding the constitutionality of the "Solomon Amendment", which requires applicants for Federal student aid to certify that they have complied with draft registration, either by having registered or by not being required to register; ''Wayte v. United States'', 470 U.S. 598 (1985), upholding the policies and procedures which the Supreme Court thought the government had used to select the "most vocal" non-registrants for prosecution, after the government refused to comply with discovery orders by the trial court to produce documents and witnesses related to the selection of non-registrants for prosecution; and ''[[Elgin v. Department of Treasury]]'', 567 U.S. 1 (2012), regarding procedures for judicial review of denial of federal employment for non-registrants.<ref>{{cite web |title = Draft Registration, Draft Resistance, the Military Draft, and Health Care Workers and Women and the Draft |url = http://www.resisters.info/#supremecourt |website = Resisters.info |access-date = 12 February 2016 }}</ref>
