[blindLaw] bluebook...

[Syed Rizvi]

Hey Yall,



My apologies for taking a few days in getting back to this. Attached,
please find a quick cheat sheet for Bluebooking. Some personal tips as
well. I’ll often google the case or put it into west law and start with a
standard citation and make my bluebook tweaks. I’ve found that to be much
easier than making my own from scratch. West law will provide you with a
standard citation for every case under the sun. Also, if the research
project is one that has been assigned to the whole class, I’ll also see how
my friends cited the cases, if we’re working in a closed case environment.
Finally, there is an online bluebook, which is generally accessible, just
not the more intuitive thing, especially for us newbies.



I hope this helps and I also hope that me sharing this doesn’t bother the
publishers of the bluebook.



Syed
