The Bluebook Online was created in response to a long-standing request from legal practitioners, law students, and scholars to make Bluebook more accessible to search, use, and teach.
It enables practitioners and students with jurisdiction-specific or publication-specific citation rules to incorporate them into their group, making a critical tool of legal writing fully accessible to the visually impaired.
The online version is intended to respond to the evolving needs of the legal community by addressing a broader range of evolving foreign, international, administrative, and electronic materials than the print version.
