USE-TIPS:
Caselaw on the the LEXIS (R) Service contains many features to aid you finding
the most current and complete research results possible.
LEXSEE:
When you know the official or parallel cite to a case, including the LEXIS
cite, you can view that case from anywhere on the LEXIS service. Simply enter
LEXSEE (or LXE) and the cite. For example:
LXE 1992 U.S. LEXIS 4751
LINKS:
Within caselaw documents embedded citations and citations the United States
Code are marked with highlighted LINKS (R). The cited case or code section can
be viewed in full by simply entering = and the number in the highlighted LINK.
For Example, in the following paragraph:
(a) A review of the Court's relevant decisions demonstrates the constitutional
requirements regarding consideration of mitigating circumstances by sentencers
in capital cases. Although the sentencer cannot be precluded from considering,
as a mitigating factor, any aspect of the defendant's character or record and
any of the circumstances of the particular offense that the defendant proffers
as a basis for a sentence [*3] less than death, see, e.g., <=3> Lockett
v. Ohio, 438 U.S. 586, 604, 57 L. Ed. 2d 973, 98 S. Ct. 2954 (plurality
opinion); <=4> Eddings v. Oklahoma, 455 U.S. 104, 71 L. Ed. 2d 1, 102 S. Ct.
869, States are free to structure and shape consideration of mitigating
evidence in an effort to achieve a more rational and equitable administration
of the death penalty, see, e.g., <=5> Boyde v. California, 494 U.S. 370,
377. <=6> Pp.8-11, 108 L. Ed. 2d 316, 110 S. Ct. 1190 .
=3 will retrieve Lockett v. Ohio
=4 will retrieve Eddings v. Oklahoma
=5 will retrieve Boyde v. California
You can return to the case (or cases) in your original result set by entering
EXIT SERVICE (or .es).
PAGINATION:
All LEXIS caselaw is paginated. Cases include LEXIS pagination along
with the pagination from official and parallel reporters. To move to a specific
page enter p* and the number of the page. When more than one pagination system
is used for a case, the page numbers are differentiated by the number of stars
(asterisks) preceding the page number. When a case contains official
pagination, those page numbers will always be preceded by a single star.
At any point in your result set you may enter p to view a listing of the number
of pages and LEXIS screen faces in a particular case.
AUTO-CITE:
You can enter the AUTO-CITE (R) service from anywhere on LEXIS by entering AC.
This electronic citation service of Lawyers Cooperative Publishing provides you
with the prior history and official status of case law citations.
You may auto-cite the case you are viewing automatically by simply entering AC.
Return to your result set by entering EXIT SERVICE (or .es).
Note: You may automatically auto-cite embedded case citations by entering =,
the LINK number and ac. For example =2ac.
SHEPARD'S:
Shepard's(R) Citations are publications of Shepard's, a member of the
LEXIS-NEXIS Group. Using Shepard's on the LEXIS service allows you to
simultaneously search the bound volumes of Shepard's Federal, State and National
Reporter System, and their supplements. Simply enter Shepards (or Shep or sh)
and the cite of the case you wish to Shepardize. For example:
SH 401 U.S. 1
Like the Auto-cite service you can automatically Shepardize the case you are
viewing by entering SH. You may Shepardize embedded citations by entering =,
the LINK number and sh. For example, =2sh.
Return to your original result set by entering EXIT SERVICE or .es.
An additional benefit of Shepard's on LEXIS is the ability, from within the
Shepard's service to view the text of the citing cases. This is done by simply
entering the number next to the citation. You may return to Shepard's by
entering resume shep, return to your original result set by entering EXIT
SERVICE, or use the new LOG FEATURE.
THE .LOG FEATURE:
The .LOG feature on LEXIS provides you with a 'map' of the services you have
used and a LINK back to those services. With so many options available on the
LEXIS service, it is possible to lose track of your exact location on the
information highway. .LOG is available to provide an easy LINK back to any
point in your research. Simply enter .log and LEXIS will display a list of the
LEXSEE, LEXSTAT, AUTO-CITE and SHEPARD'S choices you have made and provide a
quick LINK back to any of those choices.
Exit .LOG by pressing the ENTER key.
You may also use .LOG to retrieve any result set that you may have saved using
the .keep functionality.
.KEEP
After you have obtained a result set anywhere on LEXIS, you may save that
result set to your LOG and retrieve it, without charge, anytime during that
day!
Simply enter .keep from anywhere in your result set and it is saved to the log.
Note: Once you save a result set to the log you will be returned to your main
menu.
