It is very important to be careful and to check all relevant cases that can be found in Shepard’s. What we need to keep on mind is that we need to check headnote and key number of client’s case and than to check digest for other cases on topic because Sheapard’s identify only those cases that mention the case we are researching. By checking digest we can find cases that may interpret law differently. Also what we need to check is dissent. There we can find references to cases and other sources that can support counterargument. There is possibility to find case where facts of client’s case and facts from the court opinion are different in such way that the position of the dissent may apply.
