The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, 20th Edition

I am shocked at what great condition the Bluebook is in ! For the price I was nervous about what shape it would be or if there was notes or highlighting in it. It is in perfect condition, almost brand new ! Great bargin, thank you so much !

I ordered this book because I am taking a legal assistant course. It works perfectly in assisting me with my learning.

I need this Blue Book of Citations which I will use throughout law school and afterwards. Thanks so much for this beautiful book!

You are probably about to go into law school, right? Someone tells you to buy this book and you think (just like that dumb law dictionary people keep telling you to buy, right) you will think you never use it, that it is a law school prop to makes your books look more overwhelming than they already are. I mean, you never bought a textbook again after your first semester of undergrad, why you you need this book that looks like a prop from some stereotypical law school movie.NoYOU NEED THIS BOOK. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Law school is different. Nothing is given to you. Hard work is done every day. You are called out in front of all of your peers and reprimanded for not knowing the answer within 3 seconds of asking. This book will teach you that law school isn't skimming to find what you need, it's not studying the night before, it's not taking wine tasting as your humanities credit. If you are going to take law school seriously, sit down with this book, tab each section, practice. It sucks, but don't go to law school is you don't want your entire life to be reading (as well as an equal amount of crying)The book has every citation you will ever need when conducting research for your case. It's a law school bible. Use it. Memorize it. Learn it.

Great book for helping you cite legal citations or referencing proper ways to cite sources within or outside of the legal field. I have been out of law school for a couple years and still find myself using this book.

Most likely required for every 1L legal writing class. Very useful for upper-level courses and practicing lawyers, as well. Using the bluebook for legal research and writing is tedious but necessary. Most professors are very picky about citations, and the bluebook is great for understanding and checking your citations.

The media could not be loaded.  came slightly damaged, nothing intolerable. every law school student needs this!

It is exactly as it says it is. It is a reference, not a tutorial. It purports to lay out how citations are done, but the examples are so spread out and disconnected, it can only be used as a reference. In my experience, there is NO citation guide that logically lays out citation examples for Federal, State, primary and secondary sources, with step by step instructions. It is left up to the paralegal to painstakingly make notes on how to do citations on their own. If a paralegal were to come up with even a 20 to 50 page guide on writing out commonly used citations with several solid examples for each type, they would make a Lot of money, in my opinion.

Useful as ever, but full of typos all over the place.

Excellent product for my students. In this case the most important is to use it.

Lots of useful rules and information
