[blindLaw] bluebook...

[pleaseletmesee2016 at gmail.com]

Hmm. Punctuations and exact formatting can get so tough for us blind folks. In my pathetic attempt to overcome this peccadillo, I scoured all over the internet. To Only find an automatic citation generator. It seems pretty legit, but I don’t think it helps us with punctuations. the link is Bluebook Citation Generator _ CiteThis.html.is it Head of the Charles season?

NP! Thank you! Does this cheat sheet include all the rules on proper punctuations? Because NVDA doesn’t pickup all the punctuations unless I toggle it to read all the punctuations. By the way, are you on campus in Cambridge right now?

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

Hello everyone!!!

 

I was wondering if there were any other blind lawyers or blind law 

school student out there who is struggling with the bluebook (more 

so with the online version)and citations like myself? There are 

hundreds of resources on this topic, but none of them are tailored 

for nonsighted users. Thank you so much!
