Citations to legal materials follow a standard format that makes it possible for the reader to find cited cases, statutes, regulations, or law review articles. Citations, however, serve additional purposes, including lending authority and credibility to the author's work. Here, Fitch outlines the basic principles of legal citation, including the structure of the Bluebook, and provides examples for some of the most frequently cited sources in legal writing.

There is no real case law on the subject that I can find. There are tons of cases that say if you charge the cost of the service, that's a fee," City Attorney Harry Stewart told commissioners. "If you charge more than the cost of the service, that's a tax, or a fine. And if it's a fine then you've got to have a quasi-judicial process set up to challenge the applicability of the fine. "The issue on the fire is we've got to clean up this ordinance," Mayor Jack Seiler said. "That's what we need to do." "I followed the Miami fire assessment case, and this is worse," [Thomas Tew] previously told the newspaper, "If there is not aggressive action by the elected officials, it will default to the courts and to enforcement people. It's ripe for a class-action evaluation and if that occurs, it s...
Created by the Public Justice Center in 2000, the Appellate Project set some ambitious goals: find appellate cases that can help shape public-interest law, co-partner with sister organizations and private firms on significant appeals, and file amicus curiae briefs to help courts take notice of cases that affect poor people and civil rights. Four years later, it's time to take stock - and one legal expert likes what he sees.

Law practice and legal education are facing fundamental changes. Many assume that these changes will force law schools to give up on theory and focus more on training students for the practice of law. However, this Essay shows that the future may be more uncertain and complex. The only thing that is certain is that law schools may face, for the first time, the need to provide the type of education the market demands rather than serving lawyers’ and law professors’ preferences. Legal educators must respond to these demands by serving not just the existing U.S. market for legal services but also a global market for legal information. This may call for training in some, but not all, of the theories and disciplines that have been developing in law schools.
Poised to become a majority in Missouri and around the country, female law students find their numbers taking an unexpected, unexplained and, in some cases, sharp decline. The University of Missouri-Kansas City Law School is a striking example. From 2001 to 2003, the ratio of men to women was about 50- 50. Since then, however, female enrollment at the law school has dropped to about 42 percent, according to Debbie Brooks, assistant dean of admissions and multicultural affairs.
Numerous commentaries have questioned both the legality and appropriateness of Federal Reserve lending to banks during the recent financial crisis. This article addresses two questions motivated by such commentary: Did the Federal Reserve violate either the letter or spirit of the law by lending to under-capitalized banks? Did Federal Reserve credit constitute a large fraction of the deposit liabilities of failed banks during their last year before failure? The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) imposed limits on the number of days that the Federal Reserve may lend to under-capitalized or critically undercapitalized depository institutions. The authors find no evidence that the Federal Reserve ever exceeded statutory limits during the recent financial...

BACKGROUND A. The Supreme Court and the Evolution of Privacy Jurisprudence Several significant Supreme Court decisions specifically address the issue of technology and its implications for an individual's Fourth Amendment right to privacy.19 Katz v. United States articulated the twopart standard for a reasonable expectation of privacy under the Fourth Amendment stating that an individual must have a subjective expectation of privacy that society finds reasonable.20 The decision also establishes that what an individual seeks to preserve as private, even in a public area, may have constitutional protections.21 Courts have used this standard to analyze subsequent privacy jurisprudence.22 Another seminal Supreme Court decision on the nature of privacy came in United States v. Knotts.23 In K...
