Generally, issues arise because someone, a private party, a corporation, or the people of a state, believe they have been harmed. In civil law that harm can be a "tort" that does not arise to criminal behavior or a simple disagreement over what the terms of a contract or other legal document mean. The behavior can be a crime where the "legal" victim is the people of the state in which the crime occurred.
When a person feels wronged or "injured" by another entity, the first question would likely be, is there a law that prohibits the entity from doing the harm that has been done to the person harmed or injured? if there is a law that prohibits the alleged behavior, then the FACTS surrounding the behavior will be analyzed with the law that prohibits the behavior.
Often, parties don't agree on the facts or don't agree that the facts apply to the law that is alleged to have been broken or the harm alleged to have been done. Parties often disagree on what the facts mean when applied to the law or what the law means when applied to a certain set of facts; this situation is considered to be "at issue."
An issue of fact in legal proceedings involves determining what actually happened in a case, such as who did what and when. An issue of law, on the other hand, involves interpreting and applying the law to the facts of the case to determine the legal consequences.
To determine if a case has been overturned, one should review the decisions made by higher courts in subsequent cases. If a higher court has ruled differently on the same legal issue, it indicates that the original case has been overturned.
To file a motion for declaratory relief in a legal case, a party must draft a formal written document outlining the specific legal issue they seek clarification on. This document is then filed with the court and served on all relevant parties. The court will review the motion and may hold a hearing to determine whether declaratory relief is appropriate in the case. If the court grants the motion, it will issue a declaratory judgment resolving the legal issue in question.
The duration of the statute of limitations for the specific legal matter in question varies depending on the type of legal issue and the jurisdiction. It is important to consult with a legal professional to determine the specific time limit that applies to your case.

The party who initiates a legal case is known as the plaintiff in a civil case or the prosecution in a criminal case. They are the ones bringing the case to court and seeking a resolution or remedy for the legal issue at hand.
No. Sherpard's should not be cited directly. Rather it should be used to verify that cases cited in your brief (or if in school your paper) are still current (hence the term "Sherpardizing"). If a case - or a particular issue in a case - is still current or overturned, modified or otherwise discussed in another case, you should seek out that other case and determine its validity on the particular issue being addressed. A great source for how to cite legal sources is the ALWD Citation Manual by Darby Dickerson (Aspen Law).
