When you Shepardize a code section in Lexis.com Index View, does it allow you to see the Shepard's report broken up by subsections?

Final answer:

Sherardizing a code section in Lexis.com Index View does not directly provide a Shepard's report divided by subsections, instead, it presents all legal authorities citing the code section. You can manually filter these results to see those relevant to specific subsections.

Step-by-step explanation:

When you use the Sherardize function in Lexis.com Index View on a particular code section, it does not necessarily allow you to see the Shepard's report divided by subsections. Instead, the Shepard's report provides a comprehensive list of all legal authorities that cite to your code section. The report presents cases, statutes, secondary resources, and more that cite your legal authority but it does not divide these results per the subsections of the code. However, you can manually sort and filter these results to focus on those that are pertinent to the specific subsection you're concerned with.
