Bluebook Cut to Four Pages!
Law students and lawyers love to hate the Bluebook, their “bible” of rules for legal citation, because it's ridiculously complicated and pedantic. Now you can get the essentials of the Bluebook from the Boston College Law Library in just four pages — right here. It won't get you through cite-checking a journal article, but you could probably get through most of your 1L writing tasks with the information contained in this little guide.

That is, if your school uses the Bluebook for 1L Legal writing... many schools these days use the ALWD Manual instead.
