Bluebook
''The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation'' is a style guide that prescribes the most widely used legal citation system in the United States. It is taught and used at a majority of U.S. law schools and is also used in a majority of federal courts. Legal publishers also use several "house" citation styles in their works. ''The Bluebook'' is compiled by the ''Harvard Law Review'' Association, the ''Columbia Law Review'', the ''University of Pennsylvania Law Review'', and the ''Yale Law Journal''. Currently, it is in its 21st edition (published July2020). Its name derives from the cover's color. The Supreme Court uses its own unique citation style in its opinions, even though most of the justices and their law clerks obtained their legal education at law schools that use ''The Bluebook''. Furthermore, many state courts have their own citation rules that take precedence over the guide for documents filed with those courts. Some of the local rules are simple modifications to ''T ...

Puisne Justices Of The Supreme Court Of Ceylon
Puisne (; from Old French ''puisné'', modern ''puîné'', "later born, younger" (and thence, "inferior") from late Latin ''post-'', "after", and ''natus'', "born") is a legal term of art obsolete in many jurisdictions and, when current, used mainly in British English meaning "inferior in rank". In the 18th and 19th-century legal world, the word was more often pronounced to distance it from its anglicized form ''puny'', an adjective meaning "weak or undersized". Judicial usage The judges and barons of the national common law courts at Westminster, other than those having a distinct title, were called puisne. This was reinforced by the Supreme Court of Judicature Act 1877 following which a "puisne judge" is officially any of those of the High Court other than the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Master of the Rolls (and the abolished positions of Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer). Puisne courts existed as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
