SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"[This book] provides the tools needed for all forms of legal writing, using [explanations and illustrations]. In a single set of rules that the novice and experienced legal writers can...consult, [the author] contrasts the formats used in practice-based documents with those used in academic footnotes. New to the sixth edition: updated and expanded coverage of public domain case opinions and other primary authorities published online; updated and expanded coverage of secondary works in online media, including articles, ebooks, blogs, newsletters, and social media; new and updated subsections of rules addressing federal case reporters, statutes, legislation, and regulations online; new treatment of footnote references and footnotes/endnotes in online sources; new treatment and examples of dictionaries, A.L.R. annotations and articles, restatements, and principles of the law; updated appendices containing abbreviations, jurisdiction-specific sources and local rules, periodicals (more than 70 new titles added); new appendix addressing abbreviations for titles of BD Loose-leaf services; and every rule and example has been revisited and edited for depth and breadth of coverage as well as improved clarity; and shorter than the Fifth Edition (but with the same amount of information)."--
