Bluebook, which one to buy Forum

[trickydicky]

For those people out there that use the bluebook, can you please give me some insight.

My school requires us to use the bluebook for the write on part of the law review contest (grades take forever and even though I am number one I dont want to risk a dive)

I have no idea how to use the bluebook. We use strictly alwd at my school.

Do some of the books have more examples of how to cite than others.

Any information is appreciate along with links to the best ones to use!! Thanks!!!

I find the online version much more user-friendly than the print version.

There's a print version?

[trickydicky]

cool, i heard someone saying that there was another version that was bluebook with training wheels...

[Renzo]

I have online and print, and I recommend you buy:

1) both
2) only print
3) online only

in that order.

The online is nice because I don't have to leave my keyboard to look stuff up if I know what I'm looking for (preferred reporters, mandatory abbreviations, etc.), but it's much faster (at least for me) to tab the sections and read the physical book if I'm looking for something I don't know/remember.

Online is advantageous, only because Bluebook's editors are incapable of creating a topic index that's worth two shits. That's right. You know who you are.

Word search, ftw.

I think it's about time to sit her down for the talk.

Bluebook is to law school as sex is to puberty.

First you read about it, then you ask your friends. When you try it, you suck. Damning your embarrassment, you continue and become proficient, then you graduate (married) and you only do it once in a while. In the end, your wife (employer) hires someone younger to do it for you.

That didn't work with us and it won't work with them.

Since everyone is a jerk, I took time out of my busy day to research the topic.

It turns out that the 19th Edition of the Bluebook comes out on June 1st. Thus, OP, to answer your question:

1. You should wait until June 1st to buy your copy of the Bluebook, if at all possible.
2. Your "Bluebook with Training Wheels": Understanding and Mastering The Bluebook

I'm out.

Nice. First time a message board has made me laugh out loud, in fact.

You have low comedic standards. Not surprising, given that you are from the Midwest. Should I talk slower?

In point of fact, I provided, as a OL, more useful information to the topic at hand than anyone else in this thread. Go fuck ya self.

How the fuck would you be able to judge this?

Please, tell me: how much has the bluebook changed over the last, say, 5 editions to make it worth waiting for the new one? And what is the advantage of the 'training wheels' Bluebook for someone who knows ALWD? How different are AWLD and Bluebook, anyways?

All 18th edition online subscriptions will be automatically upgraded to the 19th edition.
