1 2012 Write-On Competition University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law BLUEBOOK CITATION HELP PACKET Prepared for your assistance by Arizona Law Review

2 We are thrilled that you will be participating in the 2012 Write-On Competition, and we hope that you will find this Bluebook Citation Help Packet useful. This Packet contains all of the Bluebook rules that you will need to successfully complete the Write-On Competition. Our hope is that you will not need to purchase a Bluebook solely for the Competition nor will you need to spend hours studying all of the Bluebook s rules. If you find that you would like to look at an actual Bluebook, the Law Library has several on Reserve. We recommend that you spend some time reading through this Packet prior to the Write-On Competition in order to familiarize yourself with the various rules. Please note that the rules have been edited so as to give you only the information pertinent to the Write-On Competition. Why Bluebook? It is by far the most popular citation system. Every publication at the James E. Rogers College of Law uses the Bluebook in their publication. In fact, almost every law review or journal in the country follows Bluebook. Moreover, as you may discover at your summer jobs, most employers will want you to follow the Bluebook. In this regard, we hope that using the Bluebook for the Write-On Competition will help you learn its rules, both for your employment and for your potential future on a publication at the College of Law. We also hope that this Packet will continue to be useful to you after the Write-On Competition (although it contains only edited versions of the rules). One key recommendation for using any citation system successfully: read the entire rule carefully.

4 How to Make a Footnote in Microsoft Word Making a footnote in Microsoft Word is very simple. The new versions of Word contain a button in the Reference tab that automatically inserts a footnote. In older version, click on the Insert drop down menu and scroll down to Footnote. Here are some commands that make inserting a footnote faster: PC: Alt+Ctrl+F Mac: Option+Command+F Page 4 of 54

5 Basics of Citing 1.1 Citation Sentences and Clauses in Law Reviews (p. 53) 1 Citations may be made in one of two ways: in citation sentences or in citation clauses. In law review pieces, all citations appear in footnotes appended to the portions of the text to which they refer. (a) Text. Citations to authorities that support (or contradict) a proposition made in the main text (as opposed to footnote text) are placed in footnotes. A footnote call number should appear at the end of a textual sentence if the cited authority supports (or contradicts) the entire sentence. In contrast, a call number should appear within the sentence next to the portion it supports if the cited authority supports (or contradicts) only that part of the sentence. The call number comes after any punctuation mark such as a comma, semicolon, or period with the exception of a dash or a colon. In addition to citation to authorities, a footnote may include textual sentences that are related to the main text to which the footnote is appended. This is sentence one. 1 Sentence two contains two call numbers; 2 however, only one of these this one 3 is surprising. Recall one thing 4 : call numbers precede dashes. (b) Footnotes. If a footnote itself contains an assertion requiring support, a citation to the relevant authority should appear directly after the assertion as either a citation sentence or a citation clause. (i) Citation sentences. Authorities that support (or contradict) an entire footnote sentence are cited in a separate citation sentence immediately after the sentence they support (or contradict). The citation sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period. (ii) Citation clauses. Authorities that support (or contradict) only part of a sentence within a footnote are cited in clauses, set off by commas, that immediately follow the proposition they support (or contradict). (c) Example. The following excerpt illustrates the use of citation sentences and clauses in a law review piece: Some American jurisdictions place the burden of sustaining criminal defenses on the accused. 1 States have required defendants to prove both insanity 2 and self-defense. 3 In several jurisdictions the defendant must even establish that a homicide was accidental. 4 1 See John Calvin Jeffries, Jr. & Paul B. Stephan III, Defenses, Presumptions, and Burden of Proof in the Criminal Law, 88 YALE L.J. 1325, (1979). The authors point out that the use of affirmative defenses may relieve the state of its duty to prove a sufficient factual basis for punishment, id. at 1357, and argue that the reasonable doubt standard should not be limited to those facts formally identified as elements of the offense charged, id. at E.g., State v. Caryl, 543 P.2d 389, 390 (Mont. 1975); State v. Hinson, 172 S.E.2d 548, 551 (S.C. 1970). 1 The page numbers appended to the name of the rule refer to the corresponding page in the nineteenth edition of the Bluebook. Page 5 of 54

6 3 See, e.g., Quillen v. State, 110 A.2d 445, 449 (Del. 1955); State v. Skinner, 104 P. 223, 224 (Nev. 1909). See generally Wayne R. LaFave & Austin W. Scott, Jr., Handbook on Criminal Law 8.1, at (2d ed. 1986) (discussing the origin of embezzlement and false pretense). 4 See, e.g., Chandle v. State, 198 S.E.2d 289, 290 (Ga. 1973); State v. Enlow, 536 S.W.2d 533, 541 (Mo. Ct. App. 1976). 1.2 Introductory Signals (p. 54) (a) Signals that indicate support. [no signal] Cited authority (i) directly states the proposition, (ii) identifies the source of a quotation, or (iii) identifies an authority referred to in the text. Use no signal, for example, when directly quoting an authority or when restating numerical data from an authority. E.g., Cited authority states the proposition; other authorities also state the proposition, but citation to them would not be helpful or is not necessary. E.g., may be used alone or attached to any other signal (whether supportive or not). When it is attached to another signal, it should be preceded by an italicized comma and followed by a non-italicized comma. See, e.g., But see, e.g., Accord Accord is commonly used when two or more sources state or clearly support the proposition, but the text quotes or refers to only one; the other sources are then introduced by accord. Similarly, the law of one jurisdiction may be cited as being in accord with the law of another. See Cited authority clearly supports the proposition. See is used instead of [no signal] when the proposition is not directly stated by the cited authority but obviously follows from it; there is an inferential step between the authority cited and the proposition it supports. See also Cited authority constitutes additional source material that supports the proposition. See also is commonly used to cite an authority supporting a proposition when authorities that state or directly support the proposition already have been cited or discussed. The use of a parenthetical explanation of the source s relevance (rule 1.5) following a citation introduced by see also is encouraged. Cf. Cited authority supports a proposition different from the main proposition but sufficiently analogous to lend support. Literally, cf. means compare. The citation's relevance will usually be clear to the reader only if it is explained. Parenthetical explanations (rule 1.5), however brief, are therefore strongly recommended. Page 6 of 54

7 (b) Signal that suggests a useful comparison. Compare... [and]... with... [and]... Contra But see But cf. Comparison of the authorities cited will offer support for or illustrate the proposition. When used as a signal, Compare must be used in conjunction with with ; the with is preceded by a comma, as is and when used. The relevance of the comparison will usually be clear to the reader only if it is explained. Parenthetical explanations (rule 1.5) following each authority are therefore strongly recommended. Compare Michael H. v. Gerald D., 491 U.S. 110, 121 (1989) (rejecting the claim by a putative natural father of the right to visit his child conceived by a married woman), and Catharine A. MacKinnon, Feminism Unmodified 49 (1987) (contending that what connects all women is their oppression in a sexual hierarchy), with Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1, 12 (1967) (naturalizing language about marriage), Doe v. McConn, 489 F. Supp. 76, 80 (S.D. Tex. 1980) (holding a cross-dressing ordinance unconstitutional as applied to individuals undergoing therapy for sex-reassignment surgery), and Kenneth L. Karst, The Freedom of Intimate Association, 89 Yale L.J. 624, 631 (1980) ( The denial of the society of an intimate may be partial, as in the case of a parent who loses a contest over child custody but is allowed visitation rights, or virtually total, as when a noncustodial parent is denied visitation rights. ). Cited authority directly states the contrary of the proposition. Contra is used where [no signal] would be used for support. Cited authority clearly supports a proposition contrary to the main proposition. But see is used where see would be used for support. Cited authority supports a proposition analogous to the contrary of the main proposition. The use of a parenthetical explanation of the source s relevance (rule 1.5) following a citation introduced by but cf. is strongly recommended. (c) Signals that indicate contradiction. But should be omitted from but see and but cf. whenever one of these signals follows another negative signal: Contra Blake v. Kline, 612 F.2d 718, (3d Cir. 1979); see Charles Alan Wright, Law of Federal Courts 48 (4th ed. 1983). (d) Signal that indicates background material. See generally Cited authority presents helpful background material related to the proposition. The use of a parenthetical explanation of the source material s relevance (rule 1.5) following each authority introduced by see generally is encouraged. Page 7 of 54

8 (e) Signals as verbs. In footnotes, signals may be used as the verbs of textual sentences. When using signals in this way, include material that would otherwise be included in a parenthetical explanation as part of the sentence itself. Signals should not be italicized when used as verbs in textual sentences (rule 2.1(d)). Thus: See Christina L. Anderson, Comment, Double Jeopardy: The Modern Dilemma for Juvenile Justice, 152 U. Pa. L. Rev. 1181, (2004) (discussing four main types of restorative justice programs). becomes: See Christina L. Anderson, Comment, Double Jeopardy: The Modern Dilemma for Juvenile Justice, 152 U. Pa. L. Rev. 1181, (2004), for a discussion of restorative justice as a reasonable replacement for retributive sanctions. Cf. becomes compare and e.g. becomes for example when used in this manner. 1.3 Order of Signals (p. 56) When more than one signal is used, the signals (along with the authorities they introduce) should appear in the order in which those signals are listed in rule 1.2. When e.g., is used in conjunction with another signal, the other signal s position in rule 1.2 should be used. Note that the order of authorities within each signal must conform to rule 1.4. Signals of the same basic type supportive, comparative, contradictory, or background (rule 1.2(a) (d)) must be strung together within a single citation sentence and separated by semicolons. Signals of different types, however, must be grouped in different citation sentences. For example: See Mass. Bd. of Ret. v. Murgia, 427 U.S. 307 (1976) (per curiam); cf. Palmer v. Ticcione, 433 F. Supp. 653 (E.D.N.Y. 1977) (upholding a mandatory retirement age for kindergarten teachers). But see, e.g., Gault v. Garrison, 569 F.2d 993 (7th Cir. 1977) (holding that a classification of public school teachers based on age violated equal protection absent a showing of justifiable and rational state purpose). See generally Comment, O Neil v. Baine: Application of Middle-Level Scrutiny to Old-Age Classifications, 127 U. Pa. L. Rev. 798 (1979) (advocating a new constitutional approach to old-age classifications). Within a citation clause (rule 1.1), however, citation strings may contain signals of more than one type, separated by semicolons. Page 8 of 54

9 1.4 Order of Authorities Within Each Signal (p. 56) Authorities within each signal are separated by semicolons. If one authority is considerably more helpful or authoritative than the other authorities cited within a signal, it should precede the others. Except in this situation, cite authorities in the order in which they are listed below. Authorities cited in short form are ordered as though cited in full. (a) Constitutions and other foundational documents are cited in the following order: (1) federal (2) state (alphabetically by state) (3) foreign (alphabetically by jurisdiction) (4) foundational documents of the United Nations, the League of Nations, and the European Union, in that order Constitutions of the same jurisdiction are cited in reverse chronological order. (d) Cases are arranged within a signal according to the courts issuing the cited opinions. Subsequent and prior histories are irrelevant to the order of citation, as is whether the opinion is published or unpublished. Cases decided by the same court are arranged in reverse chronological order; for this purpose, all United States circuit courts of appeals are treated as one court (including the District of Columbia and Federal Circuits), and all federal district courts are treated as one court. The ordering system is as follows: Federal: (1) Supreme Court (2) courts of appeals, Emergency Court of Appeals, and Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals (3) Court of Claims, Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, and bankruptcy appellate panels (4) district courts, Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, and Court of International Trade (previously the Customs Court) (5) district bankruptcy courts and Railroad Reorganization Court (6) Court of Federal Claims (previously the trial division for the Court of Claims), Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (previously the Court of Military Appeals), and Tax Court (previously the Board of Tax Appeals) (7) administrative agencies (alphabetically by agency) State: Foreign: (8) courts (alphabetically by state and then by rank within each state) (9) agencies (alphabetically by state and then alphabetically by agency within each state) (10) courts (alphabetically by jurisdiction and then by rank within each jurisdiction) (11) agencies (alphabetically by jurisdiction and then alphabetically by agency within each jurisdiction) International: (12) International Court of Justice, Permanent Court of International Justice (13) other international tribunals and arbitral panels (alphabetically by name) Page 9 of 54

10 (d) Cases are arranged within a signal according to the courts issuing the cited opinions. Subsequent and prior histories are irrelevant to the order of citation, as is whether the opinion is published or unpublished. Cases decided by the same court are arranged in reverse chronological order; for this purpose, all United States circuit courts of appeals are treated as one court (including the District of Columbia and Federal Circuits), and all federal district courts are treated as one court. The ordering system is as follows: Federal: (1) Supreme Court (2) courts of appeals, Emergency Court of Appeals, and Temporary Emergency Court of Appeals (3) Court of Claims, Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, and bankruptcy appellate panels (4) district courts, Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, and Court of International Trade (previously the Customs Court) (5) district bankruptcy courts and Railroad Reorganization Court (6) Court of Federal Claims (previously the trial division for the Court of Claims), Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (previously the Court of Military Appeals), and Tax Court (previously the Board of Tax Appeals) (7) administrative agencies (alphabetically by agency) State: Foreign: (8) courts (alphabetically by state and then by rank within each state) (9) agencies (alphabetically by state and then alphabetically by agency within each state) (10) courts (alphabetically by jurisdiction and then by rank within each jurisdiction) (11) agencies (alphabetically by jurisdiction and then alphabetically by agency within each jurisdiction) International: (12) International Court of Justice, Permanent Court of International Justice (13) other international tribunals and arbitral panels (alphabetically by name) 1.5 Parenthetical Information (p. 59) (a) Substantive information. Use parentheticals, as needed, to explain the relevance of a particular authority to the proposition given in the text. Parenthetical information is recommended when the relevance of a cited authority might not otherwise be clear to the reader (see rule 1.2). Explanatory information takes the form of a present participial phrase, a quoted sentence, or a short statement that is appropriate in context. (i) Phrases not quoting the authority. Explanatory parenthetical phrases not directly quoting the authority usually begin with a present participle and should never begin with a capital letter: See generally Akhil Reed Amar, Reports of My Death Are Greatly Exaggerated: A Reply, 138 U. PA. L. REV (1990) (arguing that the author and the two-tier theory of federal Page 10 of 54

11 jurisdiction are still viable). When a complete participial phrase is unnecessary in context, a shorter parenthetical may be substituted: Such standards have been adopted to address a variety of environmental problems. See, e.g., H.B. Jacobini, The New International Sanitary Regulations, 46 AM. J. INT L L. 727, (1952) (health-related water quality); Robert L. Meyer, Travaux Préparatoires for the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, 2 EARTH L.J. 45, (1976) (conservation of protected areas). (ii) Phrases quoting the authority. If, however, the parenthetical information quotes one or more full sentences or a portion of material that reads as a full sentence, it should begin with a capital letter and include appropriate closing punctuation: 3 Consequences of Changing U.S. Population: Hearing Before the H. Select Comm. on Population, 95th Cong. 11 (1978) (statement of Dr. David Birch) ( [T]here are more mayors of Rockville, Maryland, than there are mayors of Detroit. ). Mari J. Matsuda, Public Response to Racist Speech: Considering the Victim s Story, 87 MICH. L. REV. 2320, 2381 (1989) ( We are a legalized culture. If law is where racism is, then law is where we must confront it.... [L]et us present a competing ideology.... ). Not: Mari J. Matsuda, Public Response to Racist Speech: Considering the Victim s Story, 87 MICH. L. REV. 2320, 2381 (1989) (explaining that [w]e are a legalized culture. If law is where racism is, then law is where we must confront it.... [L]et us present a competing ideology.... ). When directly quoting only a short phrase from an authority, follow rule 1.5(a)(i): But see Flanagan v. United States, 465 U.S. 259, 264 (1989) (explaining that the final judgment rule reduces the potential for parties to clog the courts with a succession of time-consuming appeals). (b) Order of parentheticals within a citation. When a citation requires multiple parentheticals, place them in the following order: (date) [hereinafter short name] (en banc) (Lastname, J., concurring) (plurality opinion) (per curiam) (alteration in original) (emphasis added) (footnote omitted) (citations omitted) (quoting another source) (internal quotation marks omitted) (citing another source), available at (explanatory parenthetical), prior or subsequent history. Note that explanatory parentheticals precede any citation of subsequent history or other related authority (rule 1.6): Atl. Richfield Co. v. Fed. Energy Admin., 429 F. Supp. 1052, (N.D. Cal. 1976) ( [N]ot every person aggrieved by administrative action is necessarily entitled to the protections of due process. ), aff d, 556 F.2d 542 (Temp. Emer. Ct. App. 1977). Louis Loss, The Conflict of Laws and the Blue Sky Laws, 71 HARV. L. REV. 209 (1957) (discussing the bewildering array of state laws then governing interstate securities transactions), reprinted in Louis Loss & Edward M. Cowett, Blue Sky Law 180 (1958). Page 11 of 54

12 2 Typefaces for Law Reviews (p. 62) Law reviews use two sets of typeface conventions one for law review text (either main text or footnote text) (rule 2.2) and one for law review citations (rule 2.1). Unless otherwise noted, the examples in The Bluebook correspond to the convention for law review footnotes. 2.1 Typeface Conventions for Citations (p. 62) Most law reviews use three different typefaces in citations: Ordinary Roman (Plain Text), Italics, and LARGE AND SMALL CAPITALS (a) Case names (rules 10.2, , , 20.3, 21.5, and 21.6). Use ordinary roman type for case names in full citations, except for procedural phrases, which are always italicized: Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S. 45 (1905). State ex rel. Scott v. Zinn, 392 P.2d 417 (N.M. 1964). When a case name appears within an article title in a citation, do not italicize it: Thomas J. Madden et al., Bedtime for Bivens: Substituting the United States as Defendant in Constitutional Tort Suits, 20 HARV. J. ON LEGIS. 469 (1983). Use italics for the short form of case citations: Lochner, 198 U.S. at 50. (c) Periodicals (rule 16). Italicize article titles and use large and small capitals for periodical names. Authors names should appear in ordinary roman type: Katherine K. Baker, Once a Rapist? Motivational Evidence and Relevancy in Rape Law, 110 HARV. L. REV. 563 (1997). Cass R. Sunstein, Lochner s Legacy, 87 COLUM. L. REV. 873 (1987). David E. Bernstein, Lochner s Legacy s Legacy, 82 TEX. L. REV. 1 (2003). (d) Introductory signals (rule 1.2). Italicize all introductory signals when they appear within citation sentences or clauses: See, e.g., Parker Drilling Co. v. Ferguson, 391 F.2d 581 (5th Cir. 1968). Do not, however, italicize a signal word when it serves as the verb of an ordinary sentence: For an analysis of risk allocation rules under the UCC, see Roger S. Goldman, Note, Risk of Loss in Commercial Transactions: Efficiency Thrown into the Breach, 65 VA. L. REV. 557, (1979). (e) Explanatory phrases (rules 1.6, 10.7, and 12.7). Italicize all explanatory phrases: Oreck Corp. v. Whirlpool Corp., 579 F.2d 126, 131 (2d Cir.) (en banc), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 946 (1978). Note, however, that phrases in related authority parentheticals, such as (quoting... ), (citing... ), and (translating... ) are not italicized. Page 12 of 54

13 (f) Punctuation. Italicize commas, semicolons, and other punctuation marks only when they constitute part of the italicized material, and not when they are merely an element of the sentence or citation in which they appear. For clarity, the italicized items in the examples below appear in blue: See, e.g., id.; Sabine Towing & Transp. Co. v. Zapata Ugland Drilling, Inc. (In re M/V Vulcan), 553 F.2d 489 (5th Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 855 (1977). 2.2 Typeface Conventions for Textual Material (p. 64) (a) Main text. The main text of law review pieces does not contain citations and uses only ordinary roman and italics. Most material appears in ordinary roman type. Only the following are italicized: (i) Case names. Italicize case names, including the v. and all procedural phrases such as In re and ex rel. : Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada (ii) Titles of publications, speeches, or articles. Thus: The library has a copy of The Path of the Law, which was published in the Harvard Law Review, a complete set of the Federal Supplement, and today s Wall Street Journal. It does not have a copy of Hearings on S. 776 or Alaska Statutes. (iii) Style. Italicize words for emphasis or other stylistic purposes (rule 7). Also italicize words that are emphasized in quoted matter (rule 5.2). (b) Footnote text. Unlike in the main text, a sentence in footnote text may contain citations, which are placed in citation clauses embedded in the sentence (rule 1.1(b)). (i) Case names. When a case name is grammatically part of the sentence in which it appears, it should be italicized: In Loving v. Virginia, the Court invalidated Virginia s antimiscegenation statute. In Loving v. Virginia, 388 U.S. 1 (1967), the Court invalidated Virginia s antimiscegenation statute. When the case name is not grammatically part of the sentence, but rather used in a citation clause embedded in the footnote text, use the typeface conventions for citations (rule 2.1(a)): The Court has upheld race-specific statutes that disadvantage a racial minority, e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U.S. 214 (1944), but those decisions have been severely criticized. Justice Harlan quipped that one man s vulgarity is another s lyric, Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15, 25 (1971), but failed to provide further explanation. (ii) All other authorities. When referring to any other type of authority, whether or not the reference is grammatically part of the sentence, use the typeface conventions for citations if the full citation or a short form citation (rule 4) is given: A different view is expressed in Learned Hand, The Bill of Rights (1958), and Holmes, supra note 2. If the reference appears without the full or shortened citation information, follow the typeface conventions for the main text of law reviews (rule 2.2(a)(ii)): Page 13 of 54

14 Judge Hand explained his philosophy of judicial review in The Bill of Rights. (iii) Explanatory parentheticals. In explanatory parentheticals, follow the typeface convention for case names in citation text when a full citation clause is included: Nat l R.R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 110 (2002) (citing Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837 (1984)). Nat l R.R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 110 (2002) (addressing an argument based upon Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837 (1984)). Nat l R.R. Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101, 110 (2002) (addressing an argument based upon Chevron). (c) Punctuation. Italicize commas, semicolons, etc., only when they constitute part of italicized material, and not when they are merely an element of the citation or sentence in which they appear. For purposes of clarity, the italicized punctuation marks in the examples below appear in blue: When it decided Sabine Towing, the Fifth Circuit presented a somewhat different rationale for its holding. Brannon Denning s article, Reforming the New Confirmation Process: Replacing Despise and Resent with Advise and Consent, suggests amendments to the Senate s procedural rules. Not: Brannon Denning s article, Reforming the New Confirmation Process: Replacing Despise and Resent with Advise and Consent, suggests amendments to the Senate s procedural rules. 3.2 Pages, Footnotes, Endnotes, and Graphical Materials (p. 67) When referring to specific material within such a source, include both the page on which the source begins and the page on which the specific material appears (a pincite), separated by a comma: Matthew Roskoski, Note, A Case-by-Case Approach to Pleading Scienter Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, 97 MICH. L. REV. 2265, (1999). Catharine A. MacKinnon, On Exceptionality: Women as Women in Law, in Feminism Unmodified 70, (1987). When referring specifically to material on the first page of a source, repeat the page number: Christina M. Fernández, Note, Beyond Marvin: A Proposal for Quasi-Spousal Support, 30 STAN. L. REV. 359, 359 (1978). When citing material within a concurring or dissenting opinion, give only the initial page of the case and the page on which the specific material appears, not the initial page of the concurring or dissenting opinion: Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 297 (1962) (Frankfurter, J., dissenting). Page 14 of 54

15 When citing material that spans more than one page, give the inclusive page numbers, separated by an en dash ( ) or hyphen (-). Always retain the last two digits, but drop other repetitious digits: Edward L. Rubin, Note, Fairness, Flexibility, and the Waiver of Remedial Rights by Contract, 87 YALE L.J. 1057, (1978). (b) Footnotes. To cite a footnote, give the page on which the footnote appears, n., and the footnote number, with no space between n. and the number: Akhil Reed Amar, The Two-Tiered Structure of the Judiciary Act of 1789, 138 U. PA. L. REV. 1499, 1525 n.80 (1990). To cite a footnote that spans more than one page, cite only the page on which the footnote begins, n., and the footnote number: Akhil Reed Amar, The Two-Tiered Structure of the Judiciary Act of 1789, 138 U. PA. L. REV. 1499, 1560 n.222 (1990). When referring only to specific pages of a footnote that spans more than one page, cite only the specific pages, rather than the page on which the footnote begins: Akhil Reed Amar, The Two-Tiered Structure of the Judiciary Act of 1789, 138 U. PA. L. REV. 1499, n.222 (1990). Cite multiple footnotes (or endnotes) by using nn. : 141 nn Treat nonconsecutive footnotes (or endnotes) like nonconsecutive pages, but (except for internal cross-references) substitute an ampersand for the last comma: 350 n.12, 355 n nn.14 & 18, 316 nn.4, 6 & 8 9 To refer to both a page in the text and a footnote that begins on that page, use an ampersand between the page and the note number: Irene Merker Rosenberg, Winship Redux: 1970 to 1990, 69 TEX. L. REV. 109, 123 & n.90 (1990). 4.1 Id. (p. 72) Id. may be used in citation sentences and clauses for any kind of authority except internal cross-references (as described in rule 3.5). In law review footnotes, use id. when citing the immediately preceding authority within the same footnote or within the immediately preceding footnote when the preceding footnote contains only one authority. Note that the period at the end of id. is always italicized. Indicate where a subsequent citation varies from the former, such as the specific page number Page 15 of 54

16 being cited. The following examples illustrate the use of id. to refer to a variety of commonly cited materials: 1 Chalfin v. Specter, 233 A.2d 562, 562 (Pa. 1967). 2 Id. at U.S.C (1994). 4 See id U.C.C (2) (1977); see also id (a). 6 Dupuy v. Dupuy, [ Transfer Binder] Fed. Sec. L. Rep. (CCH) 96,048, at 91,701 (5th Cir. May 9, 1977). 7 Id. 96,052, at 91,705; see also U.S. CONST. art. I, 8, cl. 10 (giving Congress the power to punish Offences against the Law of Nations ). 8 Fleming James, Jr. & Geoffrey C. Hazard, Jr., Civil Procedure (3d ed. 1985). 9 See id William Holdsworth, A History of English Law 255 (3d ed. 1927) id. at 5 17 (2d ed. 1914). 12 Thomas C. Schelling, A Process of Residential Segregation: Neighborhood Tipping 2, reprinted in Economic Foundations of Property Law 307, 308 (Bruce A. Ackerman ed., 1975). 13 Id. at James & Hazard, supra note 8, See id. Id. may not be used to refer to one authority in a preceding footnote if the preceding footnote cites more than one source: 16 See Robert B. Reich, Toward a New Consumer Protection, 128 U. PA. L. REV. 1 (1979); Note, Direct Loan Financing of Consumer Purchases, 85 HARV. L. REV. 1409, (1972); see also Chalfin v. Specter, 233 A.2d 562 (Pa. 1967). 17 See Chalfin, 233 A.2d at 570. Not: 17 See id. at 570. Sources identified in explanatory parentheticals, explanatory phrases, or prior/subsequent history, however, are ignored for the purposes of this rule. Thus, the following examples are correct: 18 Tuten v. United States, 460 U.S. 660, 663 (1983) (quoting Ralston v. Robinson, 454 U.S. 201, 206 (1981)). 19 See id. at Dillon v. Gloss, 256 U.S. 368, 376 (1921), quoted in Nixon v. United States, 506 U.S. 224, 230 (1993). 21 See id. at Kohler v. Tugwell, 292 F. Supp. 978, 985 (E.D. La. 1968), aff d per curiam, 393 U.S. 531 (1969). 23 See id. at 980. Page 16 of 54

17 Id. may not be used to refer to an internal cross-reference: 24 See supra text accompanying note See supra text accompanying note 2. Not: 25 See supra id. 4.2 Supra and Hereinafter (p. 74) Supra and hereinafter may be used to refer to legislative hearings; court filings; books; pamphlets; reports; unpublished materials; nonprint resources; periodicals; services; treaties and international agreements; regulations, directives, and decisions of intergovernmental organizations; and internal cross-references. Supra and hereinafter should not be used to refer to cases, statutes, constitutions, legislative materials (other than hearings), restatements, model codes, or regulations, except in extraordinary circumstances, such as when the name of the authority is extremely long: 26 In re Multidistrict Private Civil Treble Damage Antitrust Litig. Involving Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Equip., 52 F.R.D. 398 (C.D. Cal. 1970) [hereinafter Air Pollution Control Antitrust Case]. Appropriate short forms for cases, statutes, and legislative materials (other than hearings) are provided in their respective rules. (a) Supra. When an authority has been fully cited previously, the supra form may be used (unless id. is appropriate or supra is inappropriate for that authority). The supra form generally consists of the last name of the author of the work, followed by a comma and the word supra. Indicate any particular manner in which the subsequent citation differs from the former. If the author is an institutional author, use the full institutional name. If no author is cited, use the title of the work; for unsigned student-written law review materials, use the appropriate designation (see rule (b)). Indicate the footnote in which the full citation can be found, unless the full citation is in the same footnote, in which case supra should be used without any cross-reference. Indicate any particular manner in which the subsequent citation differs from the former. Volume, paragraph, section, or page numbers may be added to refer to specific material: 27 Reich, supra note 16, at Holdsworth, supra note 10, at James & Hazard, supra note 8, 7.21; W. Page Keeton et al., Prosser and Keeton on the Law of Torts 1, at 2 (5th ed. 1984); see also supra text accompanying note Keeton et al., supra note 29, 2, at 4; Note, supra note 16, at Cf. Schelling, supra note 12, at 3. Note that citation of a second item or work found within a volume of collected materials already cited takes the form: 32 Catharine A. MacKinnon, On Exceptionality: Women as Women in Law, in Feminism Unmodified 70, 70 (1987). Page 17 of 54

18 33 Catharine A. MacKinnon, Desire and Power, in Feminism Unmodified, supra note 32, at 46, 47. (b) Hereinafter. For authority that would be cumbersome to cite with the usual supra form or for which the regular shortened form may confuse the reader, the author may establish a specific shortened form. After the first citation of the authority, but before any explanatory parenthetical, place the word hereinafter and the shortened form in brackets. The shortened form should appear in the same typeface as in the full citation. In subsequent citations, cite the authority using the shortened form followed by a comma and the appropriate supra crossreference (rule 4.2(a)): 34 Proposed Amendments to the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure: Hearings Before the Subcomm. on Criminal Justice of the H. Comm. on the Judiciary, 95th Cong (1977) [hereinafter Hearings] (statement of Prof. Wayne LaFave). 35 Richard H. Fallon, Jr. et al., Hart and Wechsler s The Federal Courts and the Federal System 330 (5th ed. 2003). 36 Hearings, supra note 34, at 33 (statement of Hon. Edward Becker). Do not use the hereinafter form when a simple supra form is adequate: 37 Fallon et al., supra note 35, at 343. The hereinafter form, however, should be used to distinguish two authorities appearing in the same footnote if the simple supra form would be confusing: 38 See Edward B. Rock, Saints and Sinners: How Does Delaware Corporate Law Work?, 44 UCLA L. REV. 1009, (1997) [hereinafter Rock, Saints and Sinners]; Edward B. Rock, The Logic and (Uncertain) Significance of Institutional Shareholder Activism, 79 GEO. L.J. 445 (1991) [hereinafter Rock, Shareholder Activism]. 39 See Rock, Saints and Sinners, supra note 38, at 1019; Rock, Shareholder Activism, supra note 38, at Page 18 of 54

19 Miscellaneous Rules, Including Quotations and Capitalizations 5.1 Formatting of Quotations (p. 76) (a) Quotations of fifty or more words. (i) Indentation and quotation marks. The quotation should be indented on the left and right without quotation marks, and quotation marks within a block quotation should appear as they do in the original: [T]his presumptive privilege must be considered in light of our historic commitment to the rule of law. This is nowhere more profoundly manifest than in our view that the twofold aim [of criminal justice] is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. We have elected to employ an adversary system of criminal justice in which the parties contest all issues before a court of law.... The ends of criminal justice would be defeated if judgments were to be founded on a partial or speculative presentation of the facts. The very integrity of the judicial system and public confidence in the system depend on full disclosure of all the facts, within the framework of the rules of evidence. To ensure that justice is done, it is imperative to the function of courts that compulsory process be available for the production of evidence needed either by the prosecution or by the defense. United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, (1974) (second alteration in original) (citation omitted). The Court then balanced this interest against the evils of forced disclosure. Id. at 710. (ii) Footnote and citation placement. In law review text (in which citations are not permitted), the footnote number should appear after the final punctuation of the quotation. In law review footnotes, court documents, and legal memoranda (in which citations are permitted), the citation should not be indented but should begin at the left margin on the line immediately following the quotation. In law review footnotes, where the quotation is placed within a parenthetical, it should be enclosed in quotation marks and not otherwise set off from the rest of the text. (iii) Paragraph structure. The paragraph structure of an indented quotation should be indicated by further indenting the first line of each paragraph. The first sentence of the first quoted paragraph is only indented, however, if the first word of the quoted passage is also the first word of a paragraph in the source being quoted. If language at the beginning of the first paragraph is omitted, do not indent the first line or use an ellipsis. To indicate omission at the beginning of subsequent paragraphs, insert and indent an ellipsis. Indicate the omission of one or more entire paragraphs by inserting and indenting four periods (.... ) on a new line. The following example illustrates these rules: On appeal to the federal courts via a habeas petition, McClesky alleged that Georgia s capital sentencing process was administered in a racially discriminatory manner in violation of the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. McClesky based his claims on a study, conducted by respected law and economics Professors Baldus, Pulaski, and Woodworth.... The Baldus study examined roughly 2,500 murder cases Professors Baldus, Pulaski, and Woodworth also subjected their data to an extensive Page 19 of 54

20 statistical analysis. (b) Quotations of forty-nine or fewer words. (i) Indentation and quotation marks. The quotation should be enclosed in quotation marks but not otherwise set off from the rest of the text. Quotation marks around material quoted inside another quote should appear as single marks within the quotation in keeping with the standard convention. (ii) Footnote and citation placement. The footnote number or citation should follow immediately after the closing quotation mark unless it is more accurate to place it elsewhere shortly before or after the quotation. (iii) Paragraph structure. Do not indicate the original paragraph structure of quotations of forty-nine or fewer words except when the material quoted would commonly be set off from the text, such as lines of poetry or dialogue from a play. In this case, the quotation may appear as a block quote per rule 5.1(a)(iii), regardless of its length. (iv) Punctuation. Always place commas and periods inside the quotation marks; place other punctuation marks inside the quotation marks only if they are part of the original text. 5.2 Alterations and Quotations Within Quotations (p. 77) (a) Substitution of letters or words. When a letter must be changed from upper to lower case, or vice versa, enclose it in brackets. Substituted words or letters and other inserted material should also be bracketed: [P]ublic confidence in the [adversary] system depend[s upon] full disclosure of all the facts, within the framework of the rules of evidence. (b) Omission of letters. Indicate the omission of letters from a common root word with empty brackets ( judgment[] ). (c) Mistakes in original. Significant mistakes in the original should be followed by [sic] and otherwise left as they appear in the original: This list of statutes are [sic] necessarily incomplete. (d) Changes to citations. (i) Use a parenthetical clause after the citation to indicate when the source quoted contains any addition of emphasis, alteration to the original in the quoted text, or omission of citations, emphasis, internal quotation marks, or footnote call numbers. When a citation requires multiple parentheticals, place them in the order indicated in rule 1.5(b): The fact that individuals define themselves in a significant way through their sexual relationships suggests... that much of the richness of a relationship will come from the freedom to choose the form and nature of these intensely personal bonds. Bowers v. Hardwick, 478 U.S. 186, 205 (1986) (Blackmun, J., dissenting) (second emphasis added). The Court of Appeals recognized the city s substantial interest in limiting the sound emanating from the bandshell. The court concluded, however, that the city s sound- Page 20 of 54

21 amplification guideline was not narrowly tailored to further this interest, because it has not [been] shown... that the requirement of the use of the city s sound system and technician was the least intrusive means of regulating the volume. Ward v. Rock Against Racism, 491 U.S. 781, 797 (1989) (alteration in original) (citation omitted). (ii) Do not indicate the omission of a citation or footnote call number that follows the last word quoted. (iii) Do not indicate that emphasis in the quotation appears in the original. (e) Quotations within quotations. Whenever possible, a quotation within a quotation should be attributed to its original source. Insert a parenthetical following any parenthetical required by rule 5.2(d): Chief Judge Skelly Wright noted Congress s firm resolve to insure that the CIA s power that flows from money and stealth could not be turned loose in domestic investigations of Americans. Marks v. CIA, 590 F.2d 997, 1008 (D.C. Cir. 1978) (Wright, C.J., concurring in part and dissenting in part) (emphasis added) (quoting Weissman v. CIA, 565 F.2d 692, 695 (D.C. Cir. 1977)). Note that sources included in parentheticals pursuant to this rule should be formatted as though they appear in citation clauses (see rules 2.1 and 2.2(b)(iii)). 5.3 Omissions (p. 78) Omission of a word or words is generally indicated by the insertion of an ellipsis, three periods separated by spaces and set off by a space before the first and after the last period (... ), to take the place of the word or words omitted. An ellipsis should never be used to begin a quotation; nor should it be used when individual words are merely altered (rules 5.1(a)(iii) and 5.2). (a) When using quoted language as a phrase or clause. Do not indicate omission of matters before or after a quotation: Chief Justice Burger wrote that the availability of compulsory process is imperative to the function of courts and that [t]he very integrity of the judicial system and public confidence in the system depend on full disclosure of all the facts. However, indicate omission of matter within such a phrase or clause with an ellipsis: Chief Justice Burger wrote that the availability of compulsory process is imperative to... courts and that [t]he... judicial system and public confidence in the system depend on full disclosure of all the facts. (b) When using quoted language as a full sentence. For example, assume the text of the original language is as follows: National borders are less of a barrier to economic exchange now than at almost any other time in history. As economic activity continues its relentless drive toward world-wide Page 21 of 54

22 scope, trademarks become even more important. Why, then, are certain scholars advocating less comprehensive trademark protection? In fact, this seems counterintuitive. (i) Where the beginning of the quoted sentence is being omitted, capitalize the first letter of the quoted language and place it in brackets if it is not already capitalized: [B]orders are less of a barrier to economic exchange now than at almost any other time in history. (ii) Where the middle of a quoted sentence is being omitted, insert an ellipsis where the language is omitted: National borders are less of a barrier... now than at almost any other time in history. (iii) Where the end of a quoted sentence is being omitted, insert an ellipsis between the last word being quoted and the final punctuation of the sentence being quoted: National borders are less of a barrier to economic exchange now than at almost any other time... (iv) Do not indicate the deletion of matter after the period or other final punctuation that concludes the last quoted sentence. National borders are less of a barrier to economic exchange now than at almost any other time in history. (v) Where language after the end of a quoted sentence is deleted and is followed by further quotation, retain the punctuation at the end of the quoted sentence and insert an ellipsis before the remainder of the quotation. National borders are less of a barrier to economic exchange now than at almost any other time in history...[e]conomic activity continues its relentless drive toward worldwide scope, [so] trademarks become even more important. (vi) If language both at the end and after the end of a quoted sentence is omitted and followed by further quoted material, use only one ellipsis to indicate both of the omissions: National borders are less of a barrier... [E]conomic activity continues its relentless drive toward world-wide scope, [so] trademarks become even more important. Note that the punctuation at the end of the first sentence should follow the ellipsis: Why, then, are certain scholars advocating less...? [T]his seems counterintuitive. (c) When omitting a footnote or citation. Indicate omission of a footnote or a citation with the parenthetical phrase (footnote omitted) or (citation omitted) immediately following the citation to the quoted source. Do not insert an ellipsis for an omitted footnote or citation. 6.1 Abbreviations (p. 80) Tables at the end of this book contain lists of specific abbreviations for arbitral reporters (T5), case names (T6), court names (T7), explanatory phrases (T8), legislative documents (T9), Page 22 of 54
