decisions in which such case is cited.

reported and some have tables of cases cited therein. 
b. The American Digest System and most other digests have 
each a table of cases digested. 
c. Most textbooks have tables of cases cited. 
2. Tables of Cases Affirmed, Modified, or Overruled. 
a. In the tables of cases in the American Digest System thru 
the second Decennial, the notation after the particular case 
indicates the final disposition of that case by the court of 
last resort. In each yearly volume from 1917 on, there is 
a separate table of cases affirmed, modified, or reversed 
by decisions digested in that volume. 
b. The sixth volume of the Digest of United States Supreme 
Court Reports, digesting volumes 1-206, has a table showing 
“all reported cases in state courts or lower federal courts 
which have been affirmed or reversed by the Supreme 
Court of the United States’'. 
c. In several of the states such tables of cases have been pub- 
lished from time to time; and several state digests con- 
tain them. In some volumes of reports, there are tables 
of cases modified or reversed, by the decisions therein. 
D. Citators. 
1, Federal Citations. 
By Ash in 4 volumes, covering the period from 1789 to 1901. They 
show where each case decided by the United States District Court, 
Circuit Court, Circuit Court of Appeals, and Court of Claims has been 
subsequently cited in the United States Supreme Court Reports, Federal 
Reporter, Federal Cases, or state reports, and where cases in the state 
reports have been cited in the federal reports. 
2. Shepard’s Citation. 
This series in conjunction with the Citator, which it is gradually 
absorbing, covers the reports of all the courts of the United States, 
the Reporter System, and the reports of every state except Delaware, 
Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, and South Carolina. For each of these 
states and for the District of Columbia a Shepard’s citation book is in 
preparation. Each unit is kept up to date by periodical supplements. 
The scope of the various units is not uniform. For example, the cita- 
tion book for Connecticut includes citations of all Connecticut cases in 
14—86004
