The User"s Guide to the Bluebook is still the dominant authority on proper legal citation form. Unfortunately, this edition like its predecessors is complicated, picky, and long. This Guide is designed to make your task of mastering The Bluebook® as easy and painless as possible. It helps alleviate the obstacles faced by students and even lawyers when using proper citation form. This text is designed as a how-to manual and takes a step-by-step approach to learning the basic skills of citation. It explains The Bluebook® rules, and information for each topic is found in one section rather than scattered throughout as in The Bluebook®.
