Shepardize

When researching and citing cases, you often want to validate that the case is valid and citable. By Shepardizing a case, you can determine whether the case is still "good law." To shepardize a case means to retrieve prior and subsequent history, and all citing references.

Retrieving a Shepard's® report by citation can be done in a variety of ways.
