Shepard's Citations is a citator used in United States legal research. It lists all the authorities citing a particular case, statute, or other lawful authority. Shepard's Citations can be used as a research or validation tool.
The tool provides a comprehensive case citation and treatment history to verify the validity of case law, statutes, agency opinions, and other legal documents. It tracks cases for changes in the fact of the opinion.

Note: This service is available only for United States case laws
