A drafting aid, not legal advice
Citation Coach helps you draft and check legal citations. It does not give legal advice, and using it creates no attorney–client or other professional relationship. You are responsible for every citation you file, submit or publish. Check each one against The Bluebook (22d ed.) and any local rules that govern your document.
No warranty
The site is provided free of charge and "as is". It is tested extensively, but citation rules are intricate and some forms cannot be judged without context. We make no warranty that the site is accurate, complete or always available. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of it.
Not affiliated with The Bluebook
Citation Coach is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a publication of the publishers of The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation. "The Bluebook" is a trademark of its owners.
Acceptable use
Use the site for its intended purpose. Do not attempt to disrupt it, overload it, or use it to violate anyone else's rights.
Changes
These terms may be updated; the version on this page, with its date, is the one that applies.
