In this edition, we have focused on making The Bluebook more practical for modern legal practice. The Bluebook strives to be responsive to suggestions from the legal community. Some citation forms have been expanded, reduced, or modified from previous editions. This edition of The Bluebook retains the same basic approach to legal citation established by its predecessors. Table T6 now contains abbreviations for “Brothers” (“Bros.”) and “Brotherhood” (“Bhd.”). (19 How.) 393 (1857) (enslaved party), superseded by constitutional amendment, U.S. For cases involving an enslaved person as a party, use the parenthetical “(enslaved party).” For cases involving an enslaved person as the subject of a property or other legal dispute but named as a party to the suit, use the parenthetical “(enslaved person at issue).” For other cases involving enslaved persons, use an adequately-descriptive parenthetical. Rule 8 and Rule 11 now contain language clarifying that the capitalization of state constitutional clauses when used in textual sentences is permitted (as it is with the United States Constitution). Rule 18.8 covers photographs and “art-type” objects (e.g., paintings, sculpture, and illustrations). Rule 3.2(d) covers tables, figures, charts, graphs, and other graphical materials. Rule 3.2(d) now cross references Rule 18.8 to distinguish between the two. However, several noteworthy changes were made. The 2021 printing of The Bluebook Twenty-First Edition was published in late January 2021. Twenty-First Edition Information Noteworthy Changes to the 2021 Printing
