Hello all,
Editing something right now and need to know: per The Bluebook, do we put a comma before the "Ltd" in, for example, A v. B, Ltd., ...
or is it A v. B Ltd., ...
If you could also give me the Bluebook rule for this (if there is one) I would really really appreciate it.
Thanks very much!!!

Is it not an honor code violation to get outside help on the writing comp?

ha! I didn't even think about the fact that ppl are doing write-on right now. As you can see from my profile, I'm not a 1L. I'm helping my prof with something (I'm a research assistant). I emailed ppl at
The Bluebook but no response. They prob thought it was for a writing comp as well...

I don't remember if it's in the bluebook, but I've always seen/used the comma there.
