Doing a bit of editing for a professor's article. And have a question about a bluebook citation. One footnote citation cannot be used to cite for the entire paragraph correct? In other words each sentence/claim needs a separate citation?
Example paragraph.
Introduce study A. Sentence with fact 1 of study A. Sentence with Fact 2 of study A. Sentence with fact 3 of study A. End of paragraph.
Thus in the above example paragraph, each sentence should have a citation, not just one citation at the end, correct?

Re: Citation Question
Yeah. in a law review article you'll use supra and id to cut down, but all still needs to be cited.nachosrgood wrote:Doing a bit of editing for a professor's article.
