Shepardizing in Nexis Uni

How do I Shepardize a case in Nexis Uni when I know its citation?

Retrieving a Shepard's report by citation can be done in a variety of ways.

The most common method is to enter "shep:" in the search box, followed by your citation. (Example:. Shep:694 Fed. Appx. 819).

You can also enter just the citation name in the search box, then click the Shepard's Signal indicator next to the document name in the full display.

Another method is to click on the Shepardize this document link on the right-hand side of the screen when you first pull up a case.

This will bring up a list of decisions relevant to the initial case being researched.
