About the Book


ALWD Citation Manual: A Professional System of Citation, now in its Fourth Edition, upholds a single and consistent system of citation for all forms of legal writing. Clearly and attractively presented in an easy-to-use format, edited by Darby Dickerson, a leading authority on American legal citation, the ALWD Citation Manual is simply an outstanding teaching tool. Its accessible and attractive layout, two-color design, and “Fast Formats” charts visually flag key points. Sidebars provide pertinent information to steer you away from common errors. Diagrams and examples illustrate citation style at a glance.
