LexisNexis Discontinues West Headnote Coverage in Shepard's Citations

LexisNexis has announced (LexisNexis InfoPro
for Legal Information Specialists) that, as of
September 1, 2006, it will no longer include West
headnote analysis for most case law in Shepard's
Citations. According to the news item, LexisNexis
"can no longer justify the resources required to keep
up the labor-intensive process of performing analysis
for headnotes that we do not have online."
