Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something BlueJames Ming ChenUniversity of Louisville - Louis D. Brandeis School of Law June, 12 2009 University of Chicago Law Review, Vol. 58, No. 4, 1991 Abstract: The Bluebook has transcended its role as a legal citation manual. As the citation for the flagship law reviews at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Penn, the Bluebook acts as the contract, combination, or conspiracy in restraint of trade that keeps its publishers solvent. As the condensed expression of the familial relationship between legal academia and student-edited law reviews, the Bluebook represents the prenuptial contract between the professors and the journals. Finally, as the unofficial Uniform Citation Code, the Bluebook is a legislative waste dump, a statutory release for the pent-up frustrations of partisan players in citation politics.
