Maroonbook
System of legal citation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Maroonbook is a system of legal citation that intends to be simpler and more straightforward than the more widely used Bluebook.[1] It was developed at the University of Chicago, and is the citation system for the University of Chicago Law Review. As a simplified and modernized citation method, it tends to be closer to the Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities in its conventions.
Conventions
The Maroonbook gives the following examples:[2]
- (1) Case names
- See Ferdinand v. Isabella, 14 US 92, 96–98 (1492).
- (2) Titles of periodical articles and articles in edited books
