Bluebook Citation Guidelines

Summary

Bluebook citation involves formatting legal references with specific rules. For cases, include the case name in italics, volume number, reporter abbreviation, and page numbers. Quotations require proper punctuation and spacing, with [sic] for errors. For example, Charles Musgrove v. Mary Elliot is cited as Musgrove v. Elliot, 5 So. 3d 428, 440 (Ala. 1963) in the Southern Reporter. Understanding these rules is crucial for legal writing and research.

Please put the following case information in correct Bluebook citation form. Be clear about where your underline ende. Assume that you are referencing all materials in an office memo.

Hey there! Let me help you with the Bluebook citations for your office memo. Here's how to properly format the cases:

*. Charles Musgrove v. Mary Elliot:
- Double Spacing:
```As the Alabama high court has opined, "The action for malicious prosecution was designed for the benefit of the innocent and not of the guilty. It matters not whether there was probable cause for the prosecution, nor how malicious may have been the motives of the prosecutor, if the accused is guilty, he has no legal cause of complaint. His guilt, therefore, may always be shown, notwithstanding his acquittal." Charles Musgrove v. Mary Elliot, * So. 2d *, * (Ala. *).```
- Single Spacing:
```As the Alabama high court has opined, "The action for malicious prosecution was designed for the benefit of the innocent and not of the guilty. It matters not whether there was probable cause for the prosecution, nor how malicious may have been the motives of the prosecutor, if the accused is guilty, he has no legal cause of complaint. His guilt, therefore, may always be shown, notwithstanding his acquittal." _
