The Bluebook is excellent for actual technical legal material (opinions, bills, briefs, etcetc.) in which a large number of different types of legal documents routinely need to be referred to and differentiated from one another, and should never, ever be used otherwise (although it too often is, for example in academic papers on law-related topics that do not get technical, like this one I've been editing on the state of legal education in Japan in which only a handful of laws are even mentioned but where I still have to follow all the Bluebook's weird, counterintuitive referencing and formatting requirements--or did, until the author was like fuckit dude, I hate this too let's just submit it as is. He has a good attitude and I wish him good luck with his submission!). ( )
