Cite-Checking: Bridging the Gap


This Cite-Checking webinar is a follow-up to the basic “Introduction to Cite-Checking.” It is intended to “bridge the gap” for relatively new cite-checkers who have some familiarity with The Bluebook but who are not yet at the Advanced level.

The webinar is two hours in length and will cover the following:

  • The first one-half hour will be a review and refresher of basic citation principles.
  • During the remainder of the session, some new citation principles and rules will be introduced, including information on citing to the Internet. Attendees will work on some citation exercises and correct errors in a court brief.
