5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for Law Students and Practioners,
By
This review is from: Understanding and Mastering The Bluebook: A Guide for Students and Practitioners (Spiral-bound)
I have required Barris' guide for my class for the past few years, and as a result, the students' citation has been the best I have seen in my ten years of teaching. The guide makes the very complicated Bluebook much easier to understand. It allowed me to use less class time to cover citation because it gives the students a step-by-step approach to citation which is easy to follow. I would recommend this book to every first year law student (and those who never really understood the Bluebook), and I would strongly suggest that every LRW professor require this book for their course.

Must have for the Law Student or New Associate,
By Hannah's mommy "rommy143" (florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding and Mastering The Bluebook: A Guide for Students and Practitioners (Spiral-bound)
This book is an absolute must for the entering first-year law student, the new law review member, or even the new associate. My students have been using this book for three years in my legal research and writing class. Each year they have consistently praised the book as the best text assigned for the course. Most of my students have stated that they simply would have been lost trying to navigate the Bluebook without this supplement.The book is clear, succinct, and straight to the point. It offers students a brief narrative on the most crucial Bluebook rules along with examples, important notes, pointers, and reminders geared toward addressing students' most frequent mistakes. This book makes explicit for the law student what the Bluebook requires them to surmise.

By BKLLaw (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding and Mastering The Bluebook: A Guide for Students and Practitioners (Spiral-bound)
This book is an absolute must for law students and practitioners alike. It provides an easy to use, user friendly step-by-step approach to creating correct citations in both scholarly citation style and practitioner's style. Every type of publication is listed with examples, helpful tips, tables, charts and sample exercises. I have had projects in law school that would have been impossible without it. It has been essential to my legal education.
