Shepard's Statute Reports
Research does not end simply by finding a statute that appears to support an argument. A statute may be rendered moot, amended, repealed by subsequent legislation, declared unconstitutional, or preempted. To ensure a statute is good law, it is necessary to verify the validity of any statute cited by checking its history and finding other sources that have cited it. Shepard’s Statute Reports greatly enhance and simplify this process.
Quick and Easy—See right away how vital history and citing references affect your statute.
Stay Informed—Instantly retrieve recently passed laws that amend or repeal the federal or state statute you’re viewing, or whether there has been serious negative treatment of your statute section by citing case law.
Be Prepared—Identify proposed bills that reference your section and may affect a federal or state statute, so you can adjust your case accordingly.
Dig Deeper— In addition to the comprehensive summary, only Shepard’s allows you to review an individual statute report down to the subsection or lower level.
