o Preface to the Twentieth Edition
o This edition of Tbe Bluebook retains the same basic approach to legal
citation established by its predecessors. The layout of Tbe Bluebook
has been updated to make the information easier to access. Some cita-
o tion forms have been expanded, elaborated upon, or modilied from pre-
vious editions to reflect the ever-expanding range of authorities used in
I are citecl together. In rule 1.5(b), the order of parentheticals has been
changed to reflect the removal of the "internal quotation marks omit-
tecf" and "available at" parentheticals. Rule 3.2(A> provides additional
a guidance for citing a range of pages and a single footnote within the
range in the same citation. Rule 3.5 provides guidance on the nam-
ing conventions for subdivisions that are numbered or otherwised des-
o
O
that requires the use of"available at" in parallel citations. New rule
15.9(c) introduces a citation format for ebooks, stipulating that the
print versions of books are authoritative , but that ebooks may be cited
a
if they are the sole media through which the book is available. Rule
t6.6(a') requires that opinion pieces in newspapers be cited as"Opin-
o
ion" rather than "op-Ed." Rule 16.6(f) clarifies that online newspa-
pers may be used in place of print newspapers. Rule lE has been
updated in a number of areas to account for the increasing use and var-
a
ied forms of Internet sources. The rule no longer separately categorize s
Internet citations as either direct or parallel; all citations are treated as O
direct. Rule 18.2.l(b)(ii) provides for the direct citation of Internet
sources that share the characteristics of a print source such that they
can be fully cited according to another rule, whether or not the source
o
is in print. Rule 18.2.1(d) provides guidance on how to cite Internet
sources using archival tools. Rule 1.8.2.2(a) provides guidance on
citing author information on social media platforms. Rules 1A.2.2(b)
o
(iii) and 18.2.2(b)(v) detail how to cite titles for blogs contained
within a larger website and titles for social media posts, respectiv€ly. O
Rule 18.3 now catalogs where within Tbe Bluebook guidance is
provided for citing various sources found on commercial electronic
databases. Rule 21 has been expanded to include new rules for citinfi
o
materials from the International Monetary Fr-rnd and the International
Criminal Court and has adopted simpler ways of citing United Nations
documents. We are grateful to the American Society of International
o
Law for its assistance with rule 2l and tables T3.T4, and T5.
The tables have been updated and expanded. Table T1 has been
a
revised to reflect the most current titles for the various statutory com-
pilations, session laws, and administrative compilations and registers.
The abbreviations following the states and f)istrict of Columbia in
o
table T1.3 have been revised to follow the abbreviation convention
for jurisdiction names in the date parenthetical of cases. The citation
o
formats for these sources have been updated to reflect as accurately as
possible the uniquc breakdown of information within each. Table T2
has been updated to reflect changes in local law and legal citation. The
O
compilers are indebted to the following experts in foreign legal cita-
tion for their help in enhancing table T2: Zsuzsanna Antal, Francisco o
A. Avalos,Annette L. Demers, Christoph Malliet,Yukino Nakashima, E.
Dana Neacsu, and Charlotte Stichter. The format of table T13 has been
changed from an inclusive list of periodicals to a more general guide
I
to abbreviating periodicals. Table T13.1 contains the abbreviations of
common institutional names and tableTl3.2 lists common words for
in periodical titles. The table also prescribes abbreviating geographi-
o
cal terms according to table T1O. If a word in a periodical title is not
included in any of the previously listed tables, revamped table 13 pre-
O
scribes including the full word. Terms have been added to tables T6,
Ta,Tl4, and T15 as appropriate. o
The compilers wish to thank our Coordinating Editor Mary Miles Prince
for working with us in revising, clarifying, updating, and improving Tbe
o
t
Bluebook. The compilers would also like to acknowledge outside com-
vill mentators who contribute d the ir expe rtise to th€ Twentieth Edition of
I
o Tbe Bluebook. The compilers are grateful to the law journal editors,
law librarians, and practitioners who responded to our call for sr.rgges-
tions with helpful advice and comments.

o Introduction
o Welcome to The Blueboo&, the delinitive style guide for legal citation in the
Llnitcd States. For generations, law students, lawyers, scholars, iudges, and other
legal professionals have relied on Tbe llluebook's uniform system of citation. In a
o diverse and rapidly changing legal profession, Tl:e Bluebook continucs to provide
a systematic mcthod by which members of the profession communicate impor-
o tant information about the sources and legal authorities upon which thcy rcly in
their work.
o
Tbe Bluebook can oftcn be intimidating for new users. This introduction is meant
to assist yru as you begin what will likely become a lifelong relationship with the
Blueboctk system of legal citation.
o The Bluebook contains three major parts. The lirst part contains the Bluepages,
a how-to guide for basic legal citation. tlnlike the remainder of Tbe Bluebook,
o sllmmer associates, law clerks, practicing lawyers, and other lcgal professionals.
The examples used throughout the Bluepages arc printed using simple typcface
The second part, printcd on white paper, is the heart of the Bluebook system
of citation: the rules of citation and style . This pan is subdivided into two main
o sections. The tirst scction, consisting of mles I through 9, cstablishcs general stan-
dards of citatkrn and style for use in all forms of legal writing. 'l'hc second section,
o consisting of rules 10 through 21, prescnts mles for citation of specific kinds of
authority such as cases, statutcs, books, periodicals, and foreign ancl internationd
materials. Thc examples used throughout this part arc printed using typeface
The third part consists of a series of tables to be used in coniunction with the
o rules. Thc tables show, among other things, which authorit,v to cite and how to
abbreviate propedy. Individual tables arc refcrenced throughout the b<xrk. Finally,
o
there is a comprehensive indcx.
o vidc the information necessary to lcad the reader directly to thc specific items
cited. Because of the ever-incrcasing mnge of authorities cited in legal writing, no
o systcm of citation can be complete. Thcrefore , when citing material of a type not
cxplicitly discnsscd in this book, try to locate an analogous type of authority that
is discussed and use that citation form as a model. Always be sure to providc suf-
o ficient information to allow the reacler to find the cited material quickly and easily.
o
Getting Started o
The Bluepages provide the best place to begin your study of Tbe Bluebook ry*
tem of legal citation. Indeed, first-year legal writing professors may wish to rely
on the Bluepages as a teaching aid. The Bluepages provide only an abbreviated
o
introduction to Tbe Bluebook system, however, and do not contain answers to
more difficult citation questions. For this reason, the Bluepages contain references
o
to related rules and tables found in other parts of the The Bluebook.

o INTRODUCTION
The Bluepages are a guide for practitioners and law clerks to use when citing
Local Rules. Many courts have their own rules of citation that differ
o
Bluepages. The remainder of The Bluebook employs a more
complex array of typeface conventions, including ordinary roman
type, italics, and Lnncr AND SMALL Cnps. These differences are
Special Note for Law Students: The Bluebook is primarily written for two
I The Bluepages set forth permissible deviations from the Whitepages that are
designed to accommodate the needs of lawyers and law clerks. The Bluepages
are used primarily for briefs, motions, memoranda, and opinions. For the most
o part, the Bluepages only provide examples of how a citation should look. For
comprehensive discussions of the elements of a citation, you should refer to the
corresponding Whitepages as crossreferenced in the Bluepages.
I Bluepage Rule.
I generally appear within the text of the document immediately following the
propositions they support. Footnotes should only be used in non-academic legal
documents when permitted or required by local court rules.

CHAPTER XVII
ARACHNIDA EMBOLOBRANCHIATA
(CONTINUED)—PODOGONA—
PHALANGIDEA = OPILIONES—HABITS—
STRUCTURE—CLASSIFICATION
Sub-Order 1. Cyphophthalmi
Sub-Order 2. Mecostethi.[345]
(LANIATORES).
Sternum long and narrow. Dorsal scutum leaving at least the last
three segments free. Openings of odoriferous glands not on
prominences. The fourth pair of legs usually long and powerful.
One terminal claw on each of the first two pairs of legs; two on the
last two pairs.
The Mecostethi are essentially tropical forms, though a few
representatives are found in the caves of Southern Europe. One
family (Phalangodidae) has its headquarters in the hot regions of the
Old World, while the other two (Cosmetidae, Gonyleptidae) are
confined to Central and South America.
Fam. 1. Phalangodidae.—Body piriform or triangular,
broadest behind. Last ventral segment of abdomen much the
largest. Very narrow sternum. Eye-turret near anterior border of
cephalothorax. Chelicerae narrow at base. Pedipalpi long and
strong. Maxillary plates on first pair of legs rudimentary. No
stigmata visible.
The only European forms of this family belong to the genus
Phalangodes. They all avoid the light, and are usually found in caves.
Simon[346] records six species found in France. A North American
species, P. armata, is entirely destitute of eyes.
The family has representatives in Australia and in tropical Africa
and Asia. Mermerus, Epidanus, Maracaudus, and Sitalces are some
of the exotic genera.
The other two families of this Sub-order—Fam. 2, Cosmetidae;
Fam. 3, Gonyleptidae—include a large number of species, some of
considerable size (up to an inch in length of body), found in Central
and South America.
