A Bluebook Guide for Law Students

by Scott Akehurst-Moore

This guide provides commentary, models and tips on the Bluebook (18th Edition) for law students.  The author experienced frustration with the bluebook both as a first year and

on a law journal board. The author hopes this guide will offer some helpful advice.
