If you see the first citation is surrounded by parentheses, this indicates it is a parallel cite. Any cite without an abbreviation preceding it indicates that it has only mentioned your case. Cites with abbreviations preceding them vary in meaning. A key to abbreviations in included in the front of every Shepard's volume or pamphlet. It may not mean every point of law in your case was overruled.
Citations sometimes have superscript numbers following the reporter abbreviation.
These indicate the citing case is mentioning a numbered headnote in your case. Follow steps 4 through 6. Once you have checked for the cite in each volume and pamphlet of your Shepard's set, you have thoroughly Shepardized your case. If nothing was found and you have correctly Shepardized, no cases may cite your case or your case may be too current. Special thanks to the University of New Mexico Law Library.
