Are there any decisions not carried
by the Service?
All decisions carried by the LexisNexis®
online services are available on the Service. However, to avoid
overloading your inbox, several types of decisions will not
be automatically e-mailed to you but will be sent in a different
manner as described below. The decisions in this category are:
- "memorandum opinions"
- "table cases"
- orders adopting or amending court
rules
- orders adopting a magistrate's
recommendations without analysis or discussion
- orders correcting the text of
a previous opinion
- documents that consist solely
of an appendix to another document
- opinions that are limited to
jury instructions
- opinions that contain an insufficient
description of the facts or insufficient legal analysis
to enable a Case Law Summary to be written
Depending on the courts you select,
the e-mail updates could potentially be enormous if we included
each of these types of opinions. Large messages of this type
could clog up your inbox, preventing you from sending or receiving
other e-mail. Our solution is to send you a link, once per month
via e-mail, which will take you to a web page where all of these
types of opinions are stored, arranged by court. You can peruse
these opinions at your leisure. Decisions stored on these web
pages will be available to you for approximately six months,
at which point they will drop off to make room for newer cases.

What's the difference between
HTML and plain text e-mail format?
You can receive your LexisNexis®
Electronic Advance Sheet e-mail in HTML format or plain text.
The HTML-formatted e-mail offers a very readable document with
fonts, colors, and hypertext links. To see an example of an
HTML e-mail, click here.
In order to read an HTML-formatted e-mail, you need to be using
an e-mail program that supports the HTML format (e.g., Outlook
Express, Outlook 98/2000, Netscape Communicator, and Eudora
3.x/4.x). If your e-mail program does not support HTML, you
must choose the plain text format. To see an example of a plain
text e-mail, click here.
