Happy Bluebook Wednesday! Citing court documents is one of those things that is common in practice but not really taught in law school. I hope it helps! ---- Let me know if there's anything specific you want me to address in a future Tip. ?

B17.1 ?? I've been using "p." ?? Thanks for the tip, Melanie!
Ugh! This is why God made Associates!
Awesome, thank you for this! New Mexico has a Rule for citations and it provides some guidance on citing court documents (Sections X, XI), it may be helpful to compare to BB. https://nmonesource.com/nmos/nmra/en/item/5689/index.do#!b/23-112
If it is a document in the same case, don't most people just put (Doc. No. #) or (ECF No. #) or some other variation? Some of the Bluebook cites get too lengthy and the easiest way to find the filing would be by the document number.
Very helpful tips! Thank you, Melanie!
Excellent tips! Thanks, Melanie.
