There is a Business Law assignment requiring students to use Shepard's Citations. It is now standard to do citation searches online rather than using print citators or the old CD-Rom versions. Shepard's Citations is located in LexisNexis Academic under the US Legal tab on the left-hand frame. Westlaw has a competing product called KeyCite. It is available in Westlaw Campus Research. You will need to click on the Law tab located on the header. From there enter either the citation or the case name in the Find box on the left-hand side. The KeyCite report is a part of the record returned about the case. I have added an entry for Online Citators to the online legal resources guide that explains how to access these important resources. It appears in the same section as the links to LexisNexis Academic and Westlaw Campus Research.
