    Legal Citation Guides

    • The Bluebook: a Uniform System of Citation (Ref. Desk KF 245 B58)  
        
      The Bluebook is the standard reference source for legal citation.
    • User's Guide to the Bluebook (Ref. Desk KF 245 D853)  
        
      Because the Bluebook can seem exceedingly complex, the User's Guide provides simplified instructions and examples for the casual user.
    • Bluebooking Guide  
        
      Examples of citations using the Bluebook from the New England School of Law
    • Basic Legal Citation  
        
      A competing reference source to the Bluebook, the ALWD Citation Manual is designed specifically for instructional use. Differences between the two are minor and are included in this web site.
