The CCH Citator tracks the history of cases and rulings through the legal process. You can use the CCH Citator to determine whether a case or ruling is still current, whether there are any other cases or rulings on the same point of law that should be considered, and whether the ruling in the case is still good.
The CCH Citator lists court cases and rulings that significantly comment on a cited case or ruling. It shows all paragraphs in CCH publications where a cited case or ruling is annotated. It also provides citations to cases and ruling that may have been superceded by or may supercede your case or ruling.
There are three ways you can use the Citator. You can access a case's citator listing when:
The Citator is only available in the Federal Tax library, the U.S. Master Tax Guide Plus, the Securities library, and the Health Law library.
A CCH Citator listing has several distinct sections, each of which provides different information on the targeted case or ruling.
Case or ruling name: The name of the case or ruling the Citator is tracking.
Annotated at reference: A reference to a paragraph in a CCH publication that summarizes the issues of the case or ruling the Citator is tracking.
Parallel citation section: Provides parallel citations for the case or ruling. If the document is a case that has affirmed or reversed a lower court decision, that information is also provided.
Other cases or rulings: Lists other cases and rulings (along with their parallel citations) in which the targeted case or ruling has been cited.
