Baby Blue

baby blue cover snipScholar David Post has a Washington Post piece today about the free version of the Bluebook:

“War is brewing over the most boring piece of intellectual property imaginable: the “Bluebook,” the 580-page quasi-authoritative source of proper legal citation formats published by the Harvard Law Review…”

The article also argues that legal citation guidance should be available to all, free of charge.
