Blue Book Crash Course? Forum

[gatesome]

Tips for a crash course in blue book? I have a copy of the 19th edition.

I need to cite check an amicus for work asap ... what do I need to know out of the blue book for this? Can someone direct me to the most helpful section?

There is a rule for pretty much everything in the bluebook. Just look up the rule in the bluebook. It's not that hard.

was more wondering which rules I should be looking out for
i've read tons of amici in the past so I assume I'll be able to figure it out

no, i have not gone to law school

i was just wondering if there was a section that is more important
i need to assemble table of authorities (fairly straightforward) and cite check

the first color group of pages (you'll notice if you look at it from the side) is basically a short summary of the basics. Should tell you exactly where to for detailed info on each basic point, too.
