Jay O’Keefe at De Novo: A Virginia Appellate Law Blog has posted links to Judge Richard Posner’s recent article on hypertrophy of The Bluebook. Any attorney who has struggled with labyrinthine rules and suggestions of The Bluebook will appreciate Judge Posner’s take on the now 511-page 19th edition.
As a bonus, Judge Posner included his own citation rules as an appendix to the article. You can find his disdain for The Bluebook here: Richard Posner, The Bluebook Blues, 120 Yale L.J. 850 (2011).
