[blindLaw] Thoughts on how to manage legal citations in Law school

[Lauren Bishop]

> Hi Nataliya,
> Your legal citations will go immediately after the rule of law you site. Just like in your law school textbooks. You can tell if something is italicized or a different font by having your jaws cursor hover over text and pressing jaw key, plus F. If you do this twice, it will tell you some more attributes about the text that’s being highlighted. If you use the online version of the blue book, you can press Jaws key plus F to see what font they are using in their citations. I highly recommend getting the subscription or having someone get it for you. Some school libraries also provide the blue book subscription online.  as for formatting documents, I ask word doc template of what I’m expected to write. I can either fill in the template, or use the jaws key plus F to determine how the documents is formatted, and how the various texts in the document are formatted. If you have , a question on how to do a certain formatting in Microsoft Word, you can highlight the text that you wish to format press, alts, and navigate left with either the arrows or the tab key until you get to the search box and type in what you were looking for an arrow down. there, you will find the button you need to push. Also, if you press alt plus windows plus I, jaws will bring you to any formatting inconsistencies in your document, such as random bits of extra spaces or paragraphs that somehow ended up randomly in the middle of a page. You can also have someone proofread your documents for formatting. That’s what I always did.
