Experienced perspectives. Good law made simple.

Exclusive to LexisNexis, Shepard’s Citations^® Service gives you comprehensive editorial analysis by experienced attorneys to help ensure your authorities are good law.

• Shepard’s Preview—See the big picture, including an overview of all subsequent treatment, right at the top of your full-text case. Link directly to citing references of interest.
• Complete range of editorial analysis—From negative (e.g., overruled) to neutral (e.g., explained) to true positive (e.g., followed) compared to only negative analysis provided by other services. Only Shepard’s allows you to identify potential splits of authority. That’s important since rarely are cases overruled on every point of law at once.

• Shepard’s Signal^™ indicators—View at-a-glance indications of the treatment of your case or statutes.
• Shepard’s Alert^® program—Receive notifications of specified changes to reports to help ensure you have up-to-date information. Get alerts of recently enacted or proposed legislation that may impact the statute of interest so you can adjust your case accordingly.

Shepard’s^® is the only place in the legal world where you receive comprehensive editorial analysis conducted by experienced attorneys. Comprehensive analysis provides you with both the history and array of case outcomes to help ensure your authorities are good law. View the video below to see how it works.
