Summary: The Bluebook IS user-friendly
Comment: The Bluebook is THE definitive legal citation guide. You cannot be a law student--never mind a lawyer--without knowing it inside and out. As for those who complain about its accessibility--it is true that it doesn't have every single possible example; that's impossible. But on the whole, the Bluebook is very user-friendly and remarkably clear given its comprehensiveness. Note that the 17th Edition will be coming out in July 2000, and will contain NEW RULES!

Summary: Another ploy to ensure that the layman must hire an attorney
Comment: I agree that this book is absolutely essential to lawschool or practicing law. That's what makes even more horrible!!! I studied English all through college, and relied on the MLA handbook, which is great!! Why can't the Bluebook people hire the MLA people to come up with a legal reference book that is well-organized and not utterly confusing!! Of course, this review is worthless, b/c if you plan on going to lawschool, working as a paralegal, or doing anything legal, the bluebook is a must have, and there's no way getting around it.

Summary: Arcane and Escoteric
Comment: Leave it to attorneys to create something so poorly written, confusing and arachaic as The Bluebook. It recently took me 10 hours to write a brief and 4 to get the citations to meet the requirements of the Bluebook. Something is wrong there.
My reccomendation to anyone who has to do legal citation is buy the software program CiteIt!. It does everything but write your brief, and makes this book obsolete, something that should of happened a long time ago. Using this product I could of cited my brief in 10 minutes.
