The ALWDCitationManual is primarily the work of Darby Dickerson, Dean of Stetson Law School and the nation’s leading authority on legal citation, with significant contributions from many members of the Association of Legal Writing Directors (“ALWD”), a nationwide organization of professional legal writing professors.
The ALWDCitationManual was prepared in part as a response to the frequent and puzzling changes in the Bluebook and the difficulty legal writing professors encountered in teaching first-year law students citation skills from the Bluebook.
Bluebook in their offices (because that was the citationmanual they used in law school), there is no doubt that the professional approach to citation makes it the lawyers' responsibility is to cite according to local citation practice.
Thus, following the citation rules in either the ALWDManual or The Bluebook, particularly the rules on when and where to place citations, how and when to use signals, and how to properly quote authority, will help you appropriately attribute words and ideas in any document you write during your legal career.
The conventions of legal citation provide the writer with a unique system of shorthand—the signal—for conveying to the reader not only the source of a word, thought, or idea, but also the kind of support the source provides for the word thought or idea.
