Updated bluebook worth the price?

Post by acdisagod » Fri Jul 16, 2010 9:27 am

19th edition is selling for 170, the 18th is selling for 20. Do you really need the more recent version?

No reason for it to be that high. If you are going into 1L, get the new version when it comes back in stock for ~$30.

(or for a couple bucks more at the bluebook site itself, linked to below)

Nevermind, Amazon has a stupid price for some reason it's cheaper everywhere else.

Er, http://www.legalbluebook.com/.

Honestly, I don't think there will be too many chances that affect LRW courses (aside from citation exercises, etc.), but I imagine practitioner writing will be largely unaffected. Anyone who's doing LR or a secondary might need to get a hold of one for their student work, Bluebooking articles, etc.
