| Citators - See Comparison of Citators Chart for more Details |
Shepard's has the most detailed editorial treatment. It has a grid view showing cases cited by jurisdiction and by treatment, as well as graphical history. Does not indicate, at a glance, whether the citing case quoted the case in question. |
Keycite - Has graphical history. Indicates, at a glance, whether the citing case quoted the case in question. Lacks the at a glance analysis of Lexis Advance and Bcite. |
| Legal Issue Trail/Table of Authorities |
Table of Authorities available in the Shepard's report. Legal Issue Trail also has some of the same functionality: "Legal Issue Trail allows the user to pick out the legal passage that is most important to his/her research and then find other cases that cite to that legal passage, thus building authority not just around a case, but for a specific point of law within a case." Legal issue trail also lists cases cited in that legal passage, and gives Shepards signals for those cases, providing the same functionality as table of authorities. |
Table of Authorities available via a tab at the top of the case. |
| Key Numbers and Headnotes | Found in Classic Lexis, do not exist in Lexis Advance. | West Key Number Outline is available under tools. |
