Adkins v. E.I. Dupont de Nemours %26amp; Co., 335 U.S. 331 (1948)How do you go about to Sheparding a federal case on LexisNexis?
The word is ';Shepardizing';, from ';Shepardize';, from Shepard's Citations. There should be a Shepard's tab or button on each Lexis search page. Each citator includes a red, yellow or green symbol to show whether it has overruled, possible negative impact or strengthened the primary case.
You can also receive automatic notification for updated citations of cases you have selected.
The primary citation someone found online is completely different from the Shepardizing function (finding later cases that cite the primary case), and it could be malpractice to use google as your only source for researching case law.How do you go about to Sheparding a federal case on LexisNexis?
I simply googled it and came up with the judgement on Justia (Supreme Court): http://supreme.justia.com/us/335/331/cas鈥?/a>
You don't need Lexis.
