- Clear explanations and illustrations of the basic components of legal citations;
- Step-by-step instructions for building citations to the most common authorities cited by legal practitioners;
- Detailed guidance for citing legal materials to both print and electronic sources;

- Cross references to the controlling Bluebook rules; and
- A user-friendly format gathering The Bluebook's scattered rules for each authority into one place.
