"It's a necessity for legal writing. The construction is annoying, the giant plastic spiral ring is low quality and as much as I am flipping through it the pages will inevitably start to work loose from the binding. I usually find an oversized binder clip and clip it to together at the pages I most frequently use. If you are a law student and are reading this - look at checking one out from your library instead of buying a copy. It really isn't worth having your own copy if you are just going to use it for a semester or two. Also, I was not impressed with the shipping speed. Give yourself plenty of time if you are ordering this, at least a week."

The Bluebook A Uniform System of Citation Columbia Law Review Harvard Law Review University of Pennsylvania Law Review Yale Law Journal 9780615361161 Books Reviews
- I didn't use it for the first few weeks of the semester, but this weekend when I needed it for writing a brief, I was shocked to discover it is a SCAM edition of the book. Someone has wasted time retyping the Bluebook, except there are mistakes in it that make it unusable. The binding is horribly shoddy, with part of pages unreadable. There are actual mistakes in the book that could lead to an mistakes on a brief. The coloring of the book is completely off, and the bottom line is that this is not an authentic copy. Google "knock off blue books" to see what I mean.
- Truly, I hate the Bluebook. It is the devil's handbook. However, when you need to do the devil's work and cite something 100% correctly in a legal footnote, this will get you there. Its actually easy to use once you learn it.
- This is a really important book to have...but the organization is SO TERRIBLE. It really is organized in the worst way possible. Make sure to buy tabs because you'll need them...it will make your life a lot easier finding things if you tab this book.
- This book is a MUST have for law students, paralegals and attorneys.
You may also want to buy a copy of the book "Mastering the Blue Book" or something similar to help you understand HOW to use this book.
Just remember that between the 18th and 20th edition, a lot has changed. - It is exactly as it says it is. It is a reference, not a tutorial. It purports to lay out how citations are done, but the examples are so spread out and disconnected, it can only be used as a reference. In my experience, there is NO citation guide that logically lays out citation examples for Federal, State, primary and secondary sources, with step by step instructions. It is left up to the paralegal to painstakingly make notes on how to do citations on their own. If a paralegal were to come up with even a 20 to 50 page guide on writing out commonly used citations with several solid examples for each type, they would make a Lot of money, in my opinion.
- Used this for papers and exams for law school. Sometimes the examples were just perfect. Sometimes not, but it worked out in the end. Tabs for the tables would have been a helpful addition like the color coding of the blue and white pages.
- This book was required for a class. It has all the essential information on the subject, I just don’t like how some of the equations I need for working homework problems are buried in the comments that follow an example. The examples do help with the homework problems, I just personally don’t care for the layout. The book really isn’t terrible, it’s just not my favorite. There are also some supplementary charts and graphs that come separately and are not included in the book, the Heisler chart being one of them. I feel like they could have just included it in the appendix.
