Updated Bluebook Style?

jbrosseau

Hi all,

Does anyone know whether it's to be expected at some point that there will be an updated version of the Bluebook style in Zotero? I typically use the (Canadian) Redbook or the (British) OSCOLA, which are both much more accurate from what I see of the Bluebook style.

Thanks!

If you are doing lots of legal citations, I recommend you switch from Zotero to Juris-M, an offshoot or Zotero that has much expanded legal citation functionality. http://juris-m.github.io

Juris-M is built on the same codebase as Zotero, and switching your existing database over to Zotero is very easy.

The Bluebook style is extremely complex, and Zotero’s current functionality can’t handle all of its quirks. (It only handles all of OSCOLA’s quirks through carefully specifying exactly how each field of different item types should be used.)
