3. Full Citation to People v. Williams Rule 10 (p. 79):

People v. Williams, 3. Full Citation to People v. Williams Rule 2.1(a) (p. 55), rule (p. 86), table T.6 (p. 193): Rule tells us to abbreviate according to table T.6 Here, we do not have to make any abbreviations because none of the words are in the table Looking at the examples, we can see that the case name is supposed to appear in ordinary roman text We can confirm this by referencing rule 2, which covers typefaces for law reviews

People v. Williams, 148 P.3d Full Citation to People v. Williams Rule (p. 87), table T.1 (p. 200): Rule tells us to include: The reporter volume number (rule 3.1) The abbreviated name of the reporter This can be found in the California section of table T.1 The number of the first page on which the case appears (rule 3.2)

People v. Williams, 148 P.3d 47 (Cal. 3. Full Citation to People v. Williams Rule 10.4(b) (p. 90), table T.10 (p. 342), table T.1 (p. 200): According to rule 10.4(b), we indicate both the name of the state and the court of decision. However, rule 10.4(b) also tells us that when we are citing a decision from the highest court of the state, we do not include the name of the court. Thus, because this is a decision by the highest court in California (Supreme Court of California), we include only the state name, abbreviated according to table T.10. We can double check our conclusion by referencing the California section of table T.1. This last step is important because not every state uses the name “supreme court” to designate its highest court. For example, the highest court in New York is the New York Court of Appeals.

People v. Williams, 148 P.3d 47 (Cal. 2006). 3. Full Citation to People v. Williams Rule 10.5 (p. 90): Finally, rule 10.5(a) instructs us to include the year of the decision.

People v. Williams, 148 P.3d 47 (Cal. 2006). 4. Short Citation to p. 53 of People v. Williams Full Citation: Rule 10.9 (p. 97) and rule 4: Short Forms: Rule 10.9 covers short forms for cases. Rule 4 is the general rule regarding short forms. Notice that rule 10.9(a) provides a specific explanation regarding when it is appropriate to use the short form in a law review footnote. We will cover several possible short forms for this case.

People v. Williams, 148 P.3d 47 (Cal. 2006). 4. Short Citation to p. 53 of People v. Williams Full Citation: Rule 10.9(a)(i) (p. 98): Short Forms: Williams, To begin, we choose one party’s name (or a readily identifiable shorter version of one party’s name). Here we use “Williams” because using “People” would not distinguish the case as well. Note that in the short form, the party name is italicized, but the comma following it is not.

Id. at 53. Id. Notice that rule 10.9 also allows several other short citation forms: If the case being cited is apparent, we may omit the name (yellow). following rules 4.1 and 10.9(b), we may be able to use “id.” Depending on the circumstance either with (red) or without (green) a pinpoint.

Wis Stat ( ). 5. Correction of a State Statute Citation Citation Given: Rule 12 (p. 101) and table T.1 (239): Correct Form:

Wis Stat ( ). 5. Correction of a State Statute Citation Citation Given: Rule 12 (p. 101) and table T.1 (239): Correct Form: Rule 12 deals with statutes generally. However, for a specific state statutory citation table T.1 may be more helpful because it provides specific examples of the proper form for each state.

Wis Stat ( ). 5. Correction of a State Statute Citation Citation Given: Table T.1 (239): Correct Form: W IS. S TAT. Table T.1 instructs us to: Add a period after “Wis” and “Stat”

Wis Stat ( ). 5. Correction of a State Statute Citation Citation Given: Table T.1 (239), rule (p. 105): Correct Form: W IS. S TAT. § (2005–2006). Finally, we have to review the year of the statute. Table T.1 indicates that we should include the “year.” However, rule instructs that when there are multiple years for the statute, we must include all the years covered. Unfortunately, rule does not mention how to record multiple years. The index also fails to provide an answer. However, if we scan the pages surrounding rule , we find a pertinent example under rule (c). Using this as a model, we include both full years separated by a dash.

7. Short Citation to “The Commissioners on...” in The Uniform Partnership Act (Note 5) Rule 16.7 (p. 146): According to rule 16.7, we can use either id. or supra for our short form. In this case, id. is not appropriate because we are not citing the immediately preceding authority. While rule 16.7 does not provide a cross reference, rule 4.2 also covers the use of supra. Notice that the pinpoint citation is to the first page of the article. According to rule 3.2, when pinciting the first page of a source, the citation should repeat the page number.

T YSON, B LOOD D ONE S IGN M Y N AME 133 Rule 15 does not explicitly cover pincites for book citations. However, we can simply follow the example at the beginning of the section (p. 129). We can also double check our work by referencing the general rule regarding pincites (rule 3.2). Referencing these sources, we find that the pincite is correctly placed before the date parenthetical, but we need to remove the comma that follows the title.
