“Shepard’s is a necessary part of my practice. Whether I cite case law in a letter to opposing counsel or in a motion for a Judge, I cannot sign either of these documents without first Shepardizing all the applicable case law that supports my position to ensure it is good law. It is also the first step I take when attacking opposing counsel’s arguments based on the case law they cite.”
“An example is when Shepard’s helped with my motion for summary judgment on liaiblity in a personal injury case – we won and Shepard’s helped us support our position with the best cases.”
