Private and Special Laws Private and Special Laws are enacted to address particular persons or groups of persons, such as a municipal or business corporation. Because they are limited in scope, they are not codified in the Maine Revised Statutes. They are published in the Laws of Maine. Private and Special laws are numbered separately from other types of legislation. They are assigned a consecutive chapter number, and the numbering begins again with the start of each new Legislature. The Legislature may amend a Private and Special Law at any time, so it is necessary to search all the Private and Special Laws to find not only the original act but also any amendments to it. Private and Special Laws are published in the Laws of Maine . Must consult print indexes and paper supplements for Private and Special Laws earlier than 1997 http://maine.gov/legis/lawlib/p&s.htm Since 1997, can find online here: http://janus.state.me.us/legis/ros/lom/lomdirectory.htm

Both types of bills create or affect laws of potentially unlimited duration. A. Public law . Public law bills propose laws that affect all of the people of the State or all persons or things of a particular class. Since these bills affect the general law, the sections of a public law bill that are of general or long-lasting application are almost always allocated to the Maine Revised Statutes; that is, they are placed somewhere in the existing statutory framework. Temporary provisions of a public law bill or housekeeping provisions are usually not allocated to the statutes but are drafted as unallocated law and placed at the end of the bill (e.g., transition provisions, retroactivity clauses, appropriation and allocation clauses, effective date clauses and emergency clauses; these are dealt with in more detail later in this Part). An unallocated provision is law that is published in Laws of the State of Maine but is not included in the Maine Revised Statutes. B. Private and special law . A private and special law bill is distinguished from a public law bill in that it has a much narrower scope. A private and special law bill proposes a law that relates to particular persons or things or to a class of particular persons or things, or operates on or over a portion of a class instead of the entire class. For example, water and sewer districts are routinely created by means of a private and special law bill. A private and special law is not allocated to the Maine Revised Statutes, but appears in Laws of the State of Maine.

Shepard’s and Shepardizing a Case Shepard's Citations for Case Law (from University of Delaware Library) Case law is based upon precedent or authority. In order to find out if a case can be used as authority, check to see whether the case has been followed, distinguished, limited or questioned in subsequent court cases. This is done by "Shepardizing", using Shepard's Citations to see how and when another court has cited the first decision. A legal citation for a case identifies the name of the court reporter in which the opinion is published and identifies the volume and page. In the Shepard's citator sources, the term "citation" is used more specifically to indicate a reference in a later authority to an earlier authority. The earlier authority is known as the "cited" case, statute, etc. and the later authorities are referred to as the "citing" case. Shepardizing a case helps determine the precedential value of a legal authority. Most commonly associated with case law, Shepard's citators are also published for the constitution and statutory law. http://www2.lib.udel.edu/subj/godc/resguide/shep.htm How to Shepardize a case http://www.law.suffolk.edu/library/research/a-z/resguides/shepcase.cfm How to Shepardize a statute http://www.law.suffolk.edu/library/research/a-z/resguides/shepstat.cfm LexisNexis Shepard's Citations Tutorial http://web.lexis.com/help/multimedia/detect.asp?sPage=shepards LexisNexis Tutorials http://web.lexis.com/help/multimedia/detect.asp?sPage=shepards

Common Terms & Abbreviations Legislative Documents = LD : A legislative measure in its official printed form, that is given a number by the Clerk of the House or the Secretary of the Senate and is referred to as “L.D. XXX.” Some measures, such as orders, do not become legislative documents in this sense. Types of L.D.s include those that would create public laws (see "LAWS, PUBLIC"), private and special laws (see "LAWS, PRIVATE AND SPECIAL") and resolves (see "LAWS, RESOLVE"). A CONSTITUTIONAL RESOLUTION is a form of L.D. that does not become effective upon enactment but which is subject to REFERENDUM. There are other types of legislative papers that are not legislative documents. (See “BILL”, "AMENDMENT" and "ORDER.") (See also “FORM OF A BILL” and “HOW TO READ A BILL” in Part I, D, 1, d and e) House Papers = HP Senate Papers = SP Legislative Request = LR : A request for drafting and introduction of a legislative instrument that is assigned a number by the Revisor of Statutes. This number is used to track instruments through the legislative process from initial drafting to final enactment. Until an instrument is assigned an L.D. number, the L.R. number is used to identify it. Glossary online at: http://www.maine.gov/legis/opla/glossary.htm
