Wow, i wish I had an accessible PDF of the Bluebook; my version is
terrible. I recommend the online version; once you know how to
navigate it, you can get to any rule or table instantly by typing it
in the search bar. it will probably also be easier to examine the
fonts with JAWS most of the time. *You will probably want to start
using MS Word for legal writing; I can attest that the formatting
capabilities of the BrailleNote are limited, and you might also be
required to use footnotes or endnotes.)
