Interesting post from Mary Matuszak Directory of library services at NY district attorney on linked in
She writes
A JUDGE CALLS OUT CITATION ERRORS — WHILE MAKING A FEW OF HIS OWN (PART 2 – LEXIS VERSION)
THIS IS ALSO WHY BO XIANG AND OLIVER ROBERTS CALL FOR HYPERLINKING AS VERIFICATION NEEDS SOME WORK.
INCORRECT CITATIONS IN THE JUDGE’S OPINION ARE LINKED BUT RETURN THE WRONG CASE.
LEGITIMATE CASES ARE NOT LINKED BECAUSE CERTAIN CITATIONS ARE PROPRIETARY TO A SPECIFIC COMPANY LEXIS
Links Hidrofiltros, de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. v. Rexair, Inc., 335 F.3d 927, 930 (6th Cir. 2001) even though it returns US v Riley. US v Riley begins on page 919 and ends on page 932 in volume 335. Hidrofiltros, de Mexico v Rexair is reported at 355 F3d 927 (6th Circuit 2004) (correct volume is 355 not 335 and it was decided in 2004 not in 2001).
Lexis links Dohrman v. Sullivan, 220 S.W.2d 937, 975 (Ky. 1949) but the link returns returns Lindsey v Rogers (Missouri 1949).
Lexis does not link to Beams. Even if one company recognized another company’s proprietary citation, the Westlaw citation used by the judge is wrong.
Conseco Fin Serv Corp v Wilder does not appear at 47 S.W.3d 355 (Ky App 2001); Greebnbriar Hills Country Club v Director of Revenue is at 47 S.W.3d 346 (Missouri 2001), Conseco Finance
Servicing Corp. v. Wilder is 47 S.W.3d 335 (KY 2001) (page 335 not 355)
