Advanced Cite-Checking with Deborah Bouchoux, Esq.

This Cite-Checking seminar presupposes familiarity with core Bluebook principles and is intended to cover topics not typically covered in the Introduction to Cite-Checking seminar.

The seminar is two hours in length, and will cover the following:

· The first one-half hour will be a review and refresher of basic citation principles.

· During the next one-half hour, some new topics will be covered, including the use of parentheticals, preparing tables of authorities, and citing to court documents.

· During the second and final hour, attendees will work on some citation exercises and correct errors in a court brief. Attendees will then receive an answer key for the exercises and work together on cite-checking and correcting the court brief.

Note: Please remember to bring your Bluebook 21st ed. or have access to the online Bluebook.
