Description:
A guide to basic legal citation written by Peter W. Martin and made available in HTML on the Legal Information Institute website at Cornell Law School, New York, USA. The guide is aimed at law students and deals with the citation of 'contemporary U.S. legal material'. It is based on 'The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation' (2005) which is the definitive work on legal citation. The guide was last revised in May 2007. The document covers the purposes of legal citation, citation rules and how to cite a range of commonly used legal materials including cases, regulations, electronic sources, arbitrations, books and articles. Other sections deal with the use of abbreviations, underlining and placing citations in context.
