FAQ: Does the library have access to the Bluebook for legal citations?

Yes. We have a physical copy of The BlueBook.  It is only available for use in the library and cannot be checked out.

The APA's Publication Manual includes guidelines for Legal References and examples of Legal References in chapter 11. 

You may also find the Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute’s Basic Introduction to Legal Citation by Peter W. Martin helpful and it is freely available.

Another possible resource is The Indigo Book which “is a free, Creative Commons-dedicated implementation of The Bluebook’s Uniform System of Citation. The Indigo Book was compiled by a team of students at the New York University School of Law, working under the direction of Professor Christopher Jon Sprigman” (Sprigman et al., 2016, Introduction, para. 1). You may download it as a PDF or HMTL file.
