[blindLaw] Bluebook

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Syed,

Yes, I second using the Bluebook online. I didn't even know it was a
thing until my spring semester, and I wish I would have been aware of
it sooner.

Learning to Bluebook is really hard at first. Be patient with
yourself. Check and double check everything you write down. I used
insert F a lot to check font and underlines. Not sure I really used
any other commands frequently, but I may have blocked all of legal
writing out of my memory by now. Lol Use of the sound schemes with
Jaws is a good idea.

Good luck...

Julie
