Top Law Schools

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.

use the index. did you not go to law school?

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.
