Citation, Slavery, And The Law As Choice: Thoughts On Bluebook Rule 10.7.1(D), David J.S. Ziff
Articles
Today, more than 150 years after the end of the Civil War, lawyers and judges continue to rely on antebellum decisions that tacitly or expressly approve of slavery.

Unfortunately, Rule 10.7.1(d) …

The Folly Of The Embedded Full Citation: How The Bluebook And Alwd Manuals Encourage Weak Legal Writing, Ben Bratman
The Folly Of The Embedded Full Citation: How The Bluebook And Alwd Manuals Encourage Weak Legal Writing, Ben Bratman
Articles
Unfortunately, the two most prominent citation guides for legal writing, the Bluebook and the ALWD Guide to Legal Citation, include provisions allowing legal writers to embed a full citation to legal authority as a grammatical element of a textual sentences. As a result, both beginning and experienced legal writers do not hesitate to burden their sentences with the clutter of full citations. Most dubiously, legal writers far too often begin the topic sentence of a paragraph with the phrase “In [case name],” followed by an embedded citation, thereby wrongly emphasizing the case name instead of the legal principle that the …

To Abbreviate Or Not To Abbreviate: A Perspective On Administrative Agency Bluebook Citations, Taryn L. Rucinski
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
For students and practitioners, one of the most confusing issues posed today by The Bluebook lies in when and how to abbreviate federal and state administrative agency names. Or to put it another way: Do I use: EPA, E.P.A., Envtl. Protection Agency, or U.S. Envtl. Protection Agency?

Librarians' Articles
The Bluebook is reviled by many as confusing, arcane, and nitpicky. And some of those who are stumped and intimidated by the Bluebook come to reference librarians asking for help. Thus we are presented with a wonderful opportunity to serve (while building our credibility and earning our patrons' thanks). But of course we must first get past our own Bluebook anxiety.
