Why is it Called Bluebooking?

• Bluebook formatting is a uniform system of citation for legal text. The process of editing legal text to conform to these standards is sometimes referred to as “bluebooking.”
• 蓝皮书方法是美国最广泛使用的法律引文系统。这种方法被教导并在大多数美国法学院使用，并用于大多数美国联邦法院。美国最高法院自己独特的引文样式是基于蓝皮书方法的。虽然许多州法院有自己的引文规则，但它们通常也是蓝皮书方法的修改或自定义。

• Indigo Book是一项自由实施蓝皮书方法，是拉斯穆森大学律师皇家学生的首选来源。
