We're happy to announce a new feature to help make AltLaw even better for quick legal research: copy-and-paste Bluebook citations.
Just click the "Show full citation" link to the right of the case title to get a complete, Bluebook-style citation with title, year, and court. The citation will appear already selected, so you can immediately copy (Ctrl+C) and paste (Ctrl+V) it into your word processor. Here's an example.
These citations are not always perfect, since we don't have staff to check them. Case titles, in particular, may be incorrectly abbreviated. We recommend checking with the Bluebook or another legal reference before publication.
