These features help the reader understand the case's aspects and information, as well as get basic information at a glance. The primary purpose of a legal citation is to assist the reader in quickly locating the cited source. In some circumstances, strict adherence to citation schemes is required, and lawyers should strive to make their papers as polished as possible.

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 who have jurisdiction-specific or publication-specific citation rules to incorporate them into their group, as well as 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.
