I'm a Marketing Assistant. I may have a JD, but I'm still a Marketing Assistant. And yet, I had to go hunting for a Bluebook yesterday. You know the thing...bane of existence to every 1L, ringbound goodness that is the Bluebook. Why? Because deep inside of me I had to be sure I had done the cite right for a publication for the firm's website. I could have gone ALWD, I could have gone for the Chicago Manual, but no, I had to get all law-like and hunt down a Bluebook. Which, I would have thought would have been easier to find. And hell, would the 17th edition do? Is the 18th that much more cutting edge? I'll never know, because we only had 17's. And I did find one, and I did use it, and yea verily it was good. So perhaps, just maybe, I did learn a hint of something in law school? Westlaw and Bluebooking in one week? What's next, actual law stuff?
