STRUCTURE OF LEGAL CITATION A Legal Citation refers to a specific legal source, such as a constitution, a statute, reported cases, a regulation, a treatise, or a law review article. The basic format includes the volume number, abbreviated titles of the source, and beginning page or section numbers(s).

Use Id. if you are citing the same page of the same case that you cited in the immediately preceding citation. Use Id. at (pinpoint page) if you are citing a different page of the same case that you cited in the immediately preceding citation.

"Id." is an all-purpose short form citation that may be used for any cited authority except internal cross-references. "Id." always refers to the immediately preceding cited authority, either in the same footnote or the previous footnote so long as it is the only authority cited in the preceding footnote. Sweatt v.

Ibid is used when referring to the same source in the footnote immediately above. Ibid may be used after another ibid or after a supra. Supra is used when referring to the same source in a footnote that is not immediately above.

Ibid must be used immediately after citation. If the citation is in the previous page last, the first foot note of the next page can be Id or Ibid. Difference between Id and Ibid: If all that one wants to cite is identical including page., Ibid must be used.

The citation should include the title, pagination, publication date, and the URL. N.B.: Former versions of the Bluebook required that URLs be preceded with ?available at??that is no longer the case.
