Maroonbook
The ''Maroonbook'' is a system of legal citation that is intended to be simpler and more straightforward than the more widely used ''Bluebook''. 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: ; (1) Case names * See ''Ferdinand v Isabella'', 14 US 92, 96–98 (1492). ; (2) Titles of periodical articles and articles in edited books * Eppard Richstein, ''Elements of Liberty'', 21 U Chi L Rev 45, 60 (1954). ; (3) Book and treatise titles * Friedrich W.

University Of Chicago Law Review
The ''University of Chicago Law Review'' ( Maroonbook abbreviation: ''U Chi L Rev'') is the flagship law journal published by the University of Chicago Law School. It is among the top five most cited law reviews in the world. Up until 2020, it utilized a different citation system than most law journals—the Maroonbook rather than the Bluebook.

The Law Review has announced, however, that it will be switching to the more commonly used . It is published quarterly in print and also has an online companion, ''The University of Chicago Law Review Online''.

Legal Citation
Legal citation is the practice of crediting and referring to authoritative documents and sources. The most common sources of authority cited are court decisions (cases), statutes, regulations, government documents, treaties, and scholarly writing. Typically, a proper legal citation will inform the reader about a source's authority, how strongly the source supports the writer's proposition, its age, and other, relevant information. This is an example citation to a United States Supreme Court court case: :::''Griswold v. Connecticut'', 381 U.S. 479, 480 (1965). This citation gives helpful information about the cited authority to the reader. * The names of the parties are Griswold and Connecticut. Generally, the name of the plaintiff (or, on appeal, petitioner) appears first, whereas the name of the defendant (or, on appeal, respondent) appears second. Thus, the case is ''Griswold v. Connecticut''. * The case is reported in volume 381 of the United States Reports (abbreviated "U. ...

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 ...

BabyBlue
''The Indigo Book: An Open and Compatible Implementation of A Uniform System of Citation'' (formerly ''Baby Blue's Manual of Legal Citation'') is a free content version of the ''Bluebook'' system of legal citation. Founded by New York University professor Christopher Jon Sprigman, authored collectively by Sprigman and a group of NYU law students, and published by Public.Resource.Org, it is an adaptation based on the 10th edition of the ''Bluebook'' as published by the Harvard Law Review Association in 1958, which had entered the public domain in the United States because its copyright had expired due to non-renewal. The project was inspired by correspondence between Public.Resource.Org's founder Carl Malamud and a Nagoya University academic, who was threatened by lawyers representing the HLRA over plans to incorporate the ''Bluebook'' system into the open source citation management program Zotero. Sprigman has argued that the system of citation expressed in the ''Bluebook'' wa ...

ALWD Citation Manual
''ALWD Guide to Legal Citation'', formerly ''ALWD Citation Manual'', is a style guide providing a legal citation system for the United States, compiled by the Association of Legal Writing Directors. Its first edition was published in 2000, under editor Darby Dickerson. Its sixth edition, under editor Coleen M. Barger, was released in May 2017 by Wolters Kluwer. It primarily competes with the ''Bluebook'' style, a system developed by the law reviews at Harvard, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, and Columbia. Citations in the two formats are roughly similar. However, ''ALWD'' differs from ''Bluebook'' in one key respect: Under the ''Bluebook'' system, the type styles used in citations found in academic legal articles (always footnoted) are very different from those used in citations within court documents (always cited inline). While the ''ALWD'' system follows the standard convention of footnotes within academic articles and inline citations in court documents, it rejects ''Blu ...
