Shepard's Citations (via Nexis Uni)
Allows one to check the status of an act (law) or case citation to identify prior and subsequent history and all citing references to determine whether a case decision has been followed, distinguished, limited or questioned in subsequent court cases (is it still "good law"?). Shepard's is an option once you find the case or law or you can use the Help using Shepard's.
