It is checking to ascertain whether the case has been over ruled by an apeals court, or cited as prescedence by another court, or some other discussion by another court which affects its presetendial value. For example if the US Supreme Court were to cite a lower court case as good law, the lower court case would be elevated in stature. Conversly, if the lower case were to be distingushed away, or held not correct, it loses value. Thus shepardizing ensuresa your cases cites are still good law in your briefs.
