[blindLaw] The blue book, blue booking

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Maura,

I am also a 1L, so I am just learning myself, but I am also using the
digital version of the bluebook. Although the files can be clunky at
times, they are accessible and can be navigated with Jaws quick keys.
I may be able to help give some pointers if you have questions about
navigating the bluebook.

Feel free to send me a text anytime. Bluebooking can be tough going,
and it's my understanding that the hardest time for it is the
beginning.

Julie
