Bluebook War(s), Barco 2.0 : Law Library Reference,  from the Librarians of the Barco Law Library, University of Pittsburgh School of Law (with hat tip to William P. Statsky!)

http://bit.ly/1UwiLtp

The Bluebook, for most legal professionals, is the legal citation Bible. It is required by law schools, law libraries, and multiple state and federal courts as the required guide to legal citation. It has come under attack for its frequent revisions that contain minor changes to citation form.

Since 2009, it has also been under attack for other reasons – those who want to take it away from its current publishers and put it in the public domain. Carl Malamud of Public Resource leads the charge. -CCE

Zimmerman’s Research Guide has been around a long time, and is definitely worthy of a bookmark. Here is a very nice collection of legal citation guides that drills down a bit deeper than most. -CCE

Bluebook Guide, Georgetown Law Library

http://perma.cc/8TZR-WN43

This guide was designed for law students in the Georgetown University Law Center. It covers the Bluebook’s organization and how to cite to the most common legal citations. It is not as thorough and complete as Peter Martin’s Cornell Legal Information Institute’s resource at: https://researchingparalegal.com/2013/10/31/peter-martins-introduction-to-basic-legal-citation-an-alwd-and-bluebook-cheat-sheet/.

This guide does not explain how to use certain types of lesser used legal sources. But, if you want a resource for case law, statutes, and other basic legal resources, this will work. -CCE
