Excellent book. A must have for anyone doing research pertaining to law. As I work through the dissertation process at school The Bluebook has become a significant tool for referencing Federal, State, and local statutes pertaining to my topic.

I ordered and paid for this item on September 11, 2008. It is December 15, 2008, and it never arrived even though I was told by the shipper that it was sent weeks ago. I cannot recommend "soapiebubbles" since he has not delivered the book.
I am awaiting word from Amazon as to whether my credit card was credited as requested. Thus far Amazon has not responded to verify that a credit was issued.

The Bible for legal writing April 11, 2008

Not the usual Bluebook everyone thinks about when we hear this name. This book is the bible for ALL legal writing. It shows you exactly how to research a case, cite a case, shepardize a case, annotate a case and spells out exactly what should be contained in a legal review. It is easy to learn and follow. You may get lucky, some might come tabbed out for you already, but if it doesn't it is really easy to tab out. The BlueBook is also versatile. It can be applied in the field of Justice all the way up to Torts.
Legal writing is a living, breathing monster with its own meanings, undertones, etc. Be that as it may, it is also very exact, precise and to the point--no room for fluff. For someone who likes to tell a story, like me, that can be hard to grasp. This book is excellent to help w/ the art of legal writing. It too is exact, to the point, and brief. It keeps me from straying from the subject, helps me integrate the law into a discussion of the matter at hand and helps me focus on the main issue I'm trying to convey.
Once you learn how to use this book you won't want to let it go. It is really not that expensive at all. If you have the time to hunt for a used book in a student book store, you may even get it cheaper. Just make sure you get the current edition!
Good luck!
