[blindLaw] Shepardizing Feature on Lexis Plus

[K. Scott Carlson]

Is Lexis Plus the same as Lexis Advance? I've never had an issue finding a Sheperdizing link with Lexis Advance; it's usually just below the name of the document. I Sheperdize a lot more cases than statutes, though.

If it is specifically to Shepardize a statute and you are having a problem with the Lexis interface then I recommend that you contact Lexis and request assistance. As a last resort and if you are facing a deadline you may want to request sighted assistance.
