Then, to check whether a case had been overruled or was still good law, one had to cross-reference at a separate series of books called Shepard’s Citations (hence the term “Shepardizing” a case). The process was tedious and required substantial shelf space in law office libraries for the rows and rows of reporters and related reference books.
