[blindlaw] Formatting in the Bluebook

[Tai Tomasi]

I had my state library for the blind transcribe the bluebook in Braille. I recommend subscribing to the online version of the Bluebook. You could ask for reimbursement for this from your employer as a reasonable accommodation.

All,

For those of you who need to do lots of citing, I am curious what your preferred manner of access to the Bluebook is. Bookshare has copies of the 19th and 20th editions. Unfortunately, neither the DAISY nor the BRF files contain formatting indicators like itallics and bold; and if you know anything about legal citation, you know these can be critical (and annoying). I had the online version of the Bluebook in school, but I do not anymore. Besides that version, what do you all use if not the Bookshare one?
