The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation has been the go-to guide for generations of U.S. law students, lawyers, scholars, judges, and other legal professionals. In a diverse and rapidly changing legal profession, The Bluebook continues to provide a systematic method by which members of the profession communicate important information to one another about the sources and legal authorities upon which they rely in their work.
The 22nd edition of The Bluebook retains the same basic approach to legal citation established by its predecessors. Some citation forms have been expanded, reduced, or modified from previous editions. The Bluebook strives to be responsive to suggestions from the legal community. In this edition the editors have focused on making The Bluebook more practical for modern legal practice.
