25  AC = “Authority Check” ◦ AC1—After the source pull ◦ AC2—After AC1, before Proof 1 ◦ Read assigned footnote range and accompanying text. Make mechanical corrections (using the Bluebook, CMOS and the Staff Manual)  Most Important Function: ◦ Ensure source material supports the assertion made in the text and correct citations per Bluebook  We will practice how to do an AC later today

26 You have been assigned various parts of JonesAC1. This assignment is due by 11:59 pm, Saturday, February 15, 2014. Notes: 1. Review Rule 13-Legislative Materials. 2.

27  Requirements ◦ Minimum 6 hrs/semester; 20 hrs/year  Volunteer / First Response to Email  Ways to Get Hours ◦ Source Pulls ◦ Proofs ◦ Quote Proofs ◦ Put-togethers  Report Hours to Mikayla Hamilton ◦ We are currently building an online hours entry system, similar to what is used for externships. When it is up and running, we will go over how to use it. Source Pull ACs (1 & 2) Proof (1 & 2) Quote ProofPut-Together

28 ◦ First staffer step in editorial process ◦ Create reference guide for all cited materials  Scan all footnotes and determine which can be found electronically (Westlaw, Lexis, HeinOnline, etc.) and which will have to be pulled together in hard copy  Includes Interlibrary Loan (ILL) requests  Our Library Liaison, Allie Plunkett, will be giving a short presentation on how to make ILL requests later today ◦ Useful to determine whether staffers will need to come to school to complete their ACs

29 We will practice doing a Source Pull later today.

30  Proofs ◦ Proof 1—First step after AC2 ◦ Proof 2—Between Author Read & Final Editor Read ◦ Proofread the entire article & all citations. Fix lingering grammar and typos, read for consistency, etc. ◦ This is not an AC.  Quote Proof ◦ Re-check all direct quotations against original source material for format, alternations, spelling, etc. ◦ Some articles may not have a quote proof if there is not a lot of quoted material.  We will practice doing a Proof and Quote Proof later today

31  You & a dozen (or so) of your best new WMLR friends meet in the LRO to proof hard copies of each article in the given issue with red pens.  Last chance for corrections before formatting & final edits.  We will practice doing a Put-Together later today.

33  Initially, ACs could take as long as 10 hours. But, this time will decrease with practice.  Expect a heavier load in the fall (2-3 ACs at a time)  Lighter in the spring  Work over school breaks  Long paper break (end of October)  No work during finals  At least 6 CS hours in the fall and spring (20 total)  Monthly Staff meetings

34

35  The Staff Manual ◦ Everyone should have received a digital copy by email and read it before orientation today. ◦ Contains important information on all aspects of Law Review ◦ Contains important citation “local rules”  The Bluebook ◦ There are spare copies in the LRO ◦ You can access online Bluebook using LRO computer  The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) ◦ Located on the library website ◦ Go-to guide for grammar

36

37  Local Rules are within boxes in the Volume 41 Staff Manual.  They override any rule from CMOS or the Bluebook

38  The Bluebook makes use of short form citations optional. The William Mitchell Law Review uses short form citations wherever practical.  Contrary to R. 10.3.1(b), provide a parallel citation to the Minnesota and Northwest reporters for cases that (1) appear in both reporters and (2) were published before 1978. The Minnesota reporter should be recited first in the citation sentence because the reporter name includes the state name.  When citing a state statute for a state other than Minnesota, cite to the statute on Westlaw.

39  Hirt v. Leader Hardware and Furniture Store, 244 N.W.2d 269, 309 Minn. 572 (Minn. 1976).

40  Hirt v. Leader Hardware and Furniture Store, 309 Minn. 572, 244 N.W.2d 269 (1976).

41 Staff Manual, p. 48  Hyphen (“-”): Compound words, separate non- inclusive numbers (e.g. phone numbers).  En-dash (“–”): Connect ranges of numbers (e.g. page ranges) or open compound adjectives (e.g. “post–World War II”).  Em-dash (“—”): Amplify, explain, or set off a phrase.

42 “Another relevant canon is ejusdem generis — when construing a catch-all term at the end of a list, the catch-all term is limited by the items that precede it.” Id. at 12-13.

43 “Another relevant canon is ejusdem generis—when construing a catch-all term at the end of a list, the catch-all term is limited by the items that precede it.” Id. at 12─13.  Don’t flank dashes with spaces.  En-dash between page ranges.

44

45 No signal: Use only when cited authority (1) directly states proposition, (2) identifies source of a direct quote, or (3) identifies authority referred to in the text.

46  E.g.,: There are other authorities that state the same proposition, but citation to the additional authorities would not be helpful.  Accord: Two or more sources clearly support the proposition, but the text quotes or refers to only one source. The sources not referred to in the text are introduced by accord.

47  See: Authority clearly supports the proposition but the proposition is not directly stated.  See also: Additional material that supports a proposition already cited.  Cf.: When the proposition supported is different from the main proposition, but analogous enough to lend support.

48 Compare..., [and],... with..., [and]... ◦ Example: Text states that statute did not change between 1979 and 2012.  Compare M INN. S TAT. § 609.02, subdiv. 7a (Supp. 1979), with M INN. S TAT. § 609.02, subdiv. 7a (2012). ◦ Watch the order of authorities within this signal! See Rule 1.3.

49  Contra: Where [no signal] would be used.  But see: Where see signal would be used. ◦ Omit the but if signal directly follows another negative signal.  But cf.: Where cf. signal would be used. ◦ Omit the but if signal directly follows another negative signal.

50 See generally: Cited authority indicates useful background material. This is the one instance in which a pincite is usually not necessary.

51 a) No signal, e.g., accord, see, see also, and cf. all belong in one string citation sentence. b) Contra, but see, and but cf. all belong in one string citation sentence. c) Compare..., with... is its own string citation sentence. d) See generally is its own string citation sentence.

52 M INN. R. C RIM. P. 2.01 (“the complaint is a written signed statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged”). Correct this citation.

53 M INN. R. C RIM. P. 2.01 (“The complaint is a written signed statement of the essential facts constituting the offense charged.”). ◦ Capitalize first word in quotation. ◦ Punctuation: There should be a period both before the final quotation mark and outside the parenthesis.

54 Pittston Coal Grp. v. Sebben, 488 U.S. 105, 113–116 (1988).

55 Pittston Coal Grp. v. Sebben, 488 U.S. 105, 113–16 (1988). ◦ Drop a number in page ranges.

56  A short form may be used only if (1) the source is cited in the same footnote or (2) the source can be readily found within the previous five citations, either in long form or short form, including “id.”  The “within five” rule only applies to cases and legislative materials (statutes, constitutions, etc.).  The “within five” rule does not apply to supra and infra cites because they refer directly to a particular footnote and because they cannot be used to refer to cases, statutes, or constitutions, etc. R. 4.2.

57  T6: Case names in citations, also institutional authors under some circumstances.  T10: Geographical terms.  T13: Abbreviations for law reviews, newspapers, newsletters, and websites.

58  Anna R. Light, Criminal Law: The Tension Between Finality and Accuracy: Double Jeopardy in Guilty Pleas—State v. Jeffries, 39 Wm. Mitchell L. Rev. 306 (2012). ◦ Any thing wrong with that citation? Without looking it up!

61

62  5: Effort “above and beyond” expectations.  4: Equivalent to an “A.”  3: Equivalent to a “B.”  2 is equivalent to a “C.”  1: Shows a “lack of effort.” Mandatory One-Point Deductions: ◦ A late assignment ◦ A misnamed assignment Mandatory Score of “1” ◦ Failure to check authorities

63  E-mail to Staff Members monthly or bi-monthly with grades and Editor comments.  Incorporate feedback into future work.

64  One 1 or Four 2’s: Meeting with Mike.  Two 1’s or Six 2’s : Meeting with EIC.  More 1’s or 2’s: Meeting with EIC and Professor Steenson.  Discretionary penalties

65 Allison Plunkett Library Liaison

66  Books checked out to the Law Review will be located in the Law Review Room, on the lower level of the library near the bottom of the stairs. ◦ You will need your Mitchell ID to access this room. ◦ Let Ayanna or Jeff in the library know if your ID does not work. A spare ID will be available at the circulation desk  Place book back on the Law Review shelves in the correct article spot or, if the book is non-circulating, in its correct spot in the library stacks when finished.  Keep books in Law Review Room.  Non-circulating library books will be located in their usual place in the library stacks. Do NOT place a non-circulating book on a Law Review shelf.  If a source is “on reserve,” you must check it out in your name, not Law Review.

67  Consult Staff Manual  Staff member doing a “Source Pull” requests the ILL  Source we need is not carried by the WMCL Library.  Fill out the online ILL form.  Do not request an ILL in your own name ◦ Unless it is for your long paper

68  Login to the ILLiad System (http://wmitchell.illiad.oclc.org/illiad). ◦ Login: Law Review ◦ Password:Volume41  Fill out and submit the ILL form  Put “ILL Requested” on the source pull spreadsheet under location and highlight the entire row in green.

69

70

71  Fill out the form with as much information as possible. However, the following information must be entered: ◦ Author/Editors ◦ Title ◦ Not Wanted After Date: [enter the date five days from the date of request]  Ex: You are making the request on September 4, so you should enter September 9 as the “Not wanted after” date. ◦ In the “Notes” section, include the article author’s name, the article Editor’s name, and your name as person who made the request. For example:  Author: Steenson  Editor: Cronen  Submitter: Jenny Rochat  Also in the “Notes” section, include whether the book is available at a nearby library. WorldCat is a great source (www.worldcat.org).www.worldcat.org

72  Be careful with ILLs sources.  If a page becomes torn, spilled on, or otherwise damaged, let Pete, Allison, Ayanna or Jeff know.  Law Review is charged for damaged books.  Depending on the situation, you may have to pay for the damage.

73 Source Pull AC Proof Quote Proof Put-Together

74

75  Good afternoon!  I have a source pull available for the Minnesota E- Discovery Working Group: Working Group 4 article. The article has 108 footnotes. I will send the article and template today, and the source pull will be due Tuesday, September 24 at 11:59 PM.  Please let me know if you would like to work on this source pull!  Thank you,  Jenna Johnson

76  They lay the framework for a proper AC check by streamlining the process for finding citation authority  Initiate the ILL process for books not in our library  Focus on citations that require hard copies  CS HOURS!!!

77

78

79  You will receive a sample article and a blank source pull template  Do the first 5-10 footnotes.  Note: If there is more than one source in a footnote, each source needs it’s own line. For example:

80  Save the file in the correct format – ([Author Last Name]_[SourcePull]_[Your Last Name]  Email the file to nic.puechner@wmitchell.edunic.puechner@wmitchell.edu

81

82  It’s the first—and arguably most important— step in the editorial process.  It’s the only time during the editorial process when we actually check to see if the cited material supports the text of the article (hence the name authority check).  It’s the first line of “editing” defense

83  Turn on Track Changes.  Check text and footnotes for Bluebook accuracy. Make changes as necessary.  Make sure text is grammatically correct according to CMOS. Make changes as necessary.  Check all cross-references (supra and infra). Highlight each supra and infra so that the editor knows that you checked them.  Ensure that the cited source supports the proposition stated in the text.  Leave helpful comments for the editor.

84  Alter the substance of the article ◦ The author is the expert. We are simply editing the article for publication  Change the “author’s voice” ◦ About.com: “Voice is the author’s style, the quality that makes his or her writing unique, and which conveys the author’s attitude, personality, and character.” ◦ We don’t want to put our voice into the article. ◦ Only correct blatant grammatical errors that are backed up by the CMOS. ◦ When in doubt, don’t make a change in the text. Instead, leave a comment for the editor. Be respectful with your comment.  Add new footnotes  Delete footnotes

85  Think about what the source says and what the author has written. Do they match up? How closely do they match up?  If you think that they do not match up, do the following things: ◦ Required: Review the source and see if you can find the correct pincite. Update the pincite as needed. You do not need to leave a comment. ◦ Required: If you cannot find the correct pincite, check the surrounding footnotes to see if another source nearby might support the proposition. If you find a surrounding source that works, update the footnote and leave a comment for the editor explaining what you did, and why you did it ◦ Required: If you cannot find the correct pincite, if there are no pertinent surrounding footnotes, and if you are confident that the source does not fit with what the author wrote, leave a comment for the editor. In your comment, explain why the cited authority does not support the text. ◦ Optional: Find a source that supports what the author wrote. In your comment to the editor, include a citation to the source that you found. This is not required, but it will help you earn grades of 4/5

86  You do not need to leave a comment if you: ◦ Make a change that is directly supported by the Bluebook or Staff Manual ◦ Correct a pincite ◦ Correct an obvious grammatical error that is directly supported by the CMOS ◦ Correct an obvious spelling error  You must leave a comment if: ◦ You make change that is not directly supported by the Bluebook, Staff Manual or CMOS ◦ You make a change that is only tangentially supported by the Bluebook, Staff Manual or CMOS ◦ You think that the cited authority does not support the proposition stated in the text ◦ You find some other error, but it’s a case of “author’s voice” ◦ There is a sentence that does not have a footnote, but you think that it should.  Do not add a footnote!  Feel free to try to find a source that would fit (not required, but will help you get a 4 or 5)

87  You will get 20-25 ACs this year.  On average, you will be responsible for 10-20 footnotes for each AC.  You will never have more than 3 ACs at once.  Initially, ACs may take up to 10 hours. But, you will get faster with practice.  If you come across a difficult footnote: 1.Check the Staff Manual 2.Consult the Bluebook 3.Consult with a reference librarian 4.Come to office hours in the LRO 5.Contact your Pod leader 6.Contact any Board member

88

89  Hi all- You have been assigned the AC1 for the Cronen article in Issue 1, which will be due at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, September 1st. The article and source pull are attached. This is one of the student case notes, so it is in pretty good shape, but please be sure you take the time to AC it properly. As a reminder, save the document as Cronen_AC1_RangeX_Lastname.

91  Footnotes 3-4

92  Footnotes 5-7

93  Send your completed AC to ◦ peter.kieselbach@wmitchell.edu peter.kieselbach@wmitchell.edu  Make sure you label the file name correctly ◦ Cronen_AC1_Range1_[your last name].docx

94 Guided Practice

95  A proof is a comprehensive proofread of an entire article  Something you do for CS hours  Solicited via email by an editor and generally completed by only one staff member per article  Two proofs are completed on each article  Time to complete is usually about one week

96 Proofs happen after both ACs, but before the Put- Together. While proofing check for: Consistency within an article Typographical errors/Spelling/Grammar Proper punctuation Bluebook accuracy NOT support from the sources (that’s what ACs are for)

97 Detailed step by step instructions are in the Staff Manual, but basically… 1. Read the text of the article, and 1. Read the footnotes in the article … checking for all things incorrect.

98 In its 2004 Lake Elmo v. Metropolitan Council decision, the Minnesota Supreme Court reaffirmed the Council’s comprehensive planning authority, that the Council uses to protect and enhance regional systems today.

105 Quote Proof Guided Practice Review entire article checking direct quotes for accuracy CS Hours (volunteer basis unless nobody takes  then Editors assign) DODON’T Check every direct quotation and surrounding text against the cited authority (language, punctuation, bluebook quote formatting, pincite) No need to bluebook citations or check for grammar throughout other text in the article But…please point out glaring mistakes even if outside the quote. We’re all in this together!

106 Quote Proof Guided Practice LR Manual contains detailed instructions Review both the TEXT and the FOOTNOTES of the entire article CHECK QUOTE AND SURROUNDING TEXT FOR: Wording (check every word!!) Surrounding text (to ensure the quotation marks were placed properly) Punctuation Bluebook quotation formatting (ellipses, brackets, block quotes, etc.) Pincite

107 Quote Proof Guided Practice The Court stated that the “Plaintiffs here in their promissory fraud claim do not attack the validity of the agreements” but instead “seek to recover…based on the terms of the contract.” Cited Authority says: “Plaintiffs in their promissory fraud claim do not attack the validity of the real estate purchase contract or oral contract.” Cited Authority says: “Plaintiffs in their promissory fraud claim do not attack the validity of the real estate purchase contract or oral contract.” The Court stated that the “Plaintiffs here in their promissory fraud claim do not attack the validity of the [agreements]” but instead “seek to recover…... based on the terms of the contract.”

108 Quote Proof Guided Practice The court went on to reiterate that “the purpose of the rule is to ensure that the parties’ final understanding is not subject to change.” AC2 Margin Comment: This is not a direct quote from this case and seems to be more of a paraphrase. I suggest dropping the quotations. Quote Proof Margin Comment: I agree with AC2; however, the language is similar enough that dropping the quotes borrows too much exact language. I suggest editing the quote to be exact: “___________”

109 Quote Proof Guided Practice The Court in Marbury held that “there is no difference between a patent for lands and the commission of an officer” and “the duty of the secretary is…the same.” Work with your partner to “Quote Proof” the below sentence using the following cited authority the author provided in the footnote: Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 152 (1803).

110 Quote Proof Guided Practice Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 152 (1803) The Court in Marbury held that “there is no difference between a patent for lands and the commission of an officer” and “the duty of the secretary is…the same.” The Court in Marbury held that “there is no difference between a patent for lands, and the commission of an judicial officer” and “[t]he duty of the secretary is…... the same.” Four edits made to the quote. One edit made to the pincite. Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 152150 (1803)

111 Quote Proof Guided Practice The Court in Marbury provided that “the appointment, under the constitution to be made by the president personally, must be made by the President also” and “the law would seem to contemplate that it should be made to the Secretary of State.” Work on your own to “Quote Proof” the below sentence using the following cited authority the author provided in the footnote: Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 159 (1803).

112 Quote Proof Guided Practice Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137, 159 (1803). The Court in Marbury provided that “the appointment, under the constitution to be made by the president personally, must be made by the President also” and “the law would seem to contemplate that it should be made to the Secretary of State.” Marbury v.

114  After the AC’s and Proofs...  The Issue’s EE asks for 5-10 volunteers (CS HOURS!!) to do a “group read” over approximately 4 hours  Purpose? To catch mistakes while looking at the article “as a whole”

115 Hi Staffers, The first Issue 2 put-together is scheduled for October 10 th at 1 pm. I need 16 volunteers, and the spots will be reserved on a first-come first-served basis. Please plan to spend at least 4 hours at this event, although you might get out earlier than 4 pm. Your job at the put-together is quite simple. Staffers receive a range of pages from an article, in hard copy, and proof the range. This an easy way to get CS hours, AND you get to spend time with your fellow staffers. Pizza and dessert will be provided. If you volunteer, please inform me of any dietary restrictions. Thanks, Katie
