§ 2-710. Book Citations  Most Common Form [BB|ALWD]
Principle: A standard book citation consists of the following elements (in order): § 2-710(a) Examples Window (restore)
Element (a) - The volume number (if it is a multi-volume work) «e.g.»
¡But see § 2-715(1)! § 2-710(b) Examples Window (restore)
Element (b) - The full name of the author(s) followed by a comma Works by more than two authors are cited using the first author's name and "et al." unless the inclusion of the other authors' names is significant «e.g.».
Works by two authors are cited using both names separated by "&" «e.g.».
¡But see § 2-715(2)! § 2-710(c) Examples Window (restore)
Element (c) - Title (italicized or underlined), with all words other than prepositions and conjunctions begun with a capital letter «e.g.» § 2-710(d) Examples Window (restore)
Element (e) - Parentheses containing the edition number (if there have been multiple editions) and year of publication «e.g.» ¡But see § 2-715(3)! § 2-715. Book Citations  Points of Difference in Citation Practice
Point 1: While longstanding conventional practice, as reflected in The Bluebook, is to place the volume number of a multi-volume work before the author's name, the ALWD Citation Manual calls for a volume number to be placed following the title with the other subdivision information «e.g.».
Point 3: The ALWD Citation Manual calls for routine inclusion of the publisher's name (abbreviated) in the parentheses, before the year of publication. Where there is an edition number the publisher's name follows it, separated by a comma «e.g.». The Bluebook directs insertion of the publisher's name only when that is necessary in order to distinguish different publishers' editions.
§ 2-720. Book Citations  Variants and Special Cases
Special Case 1  Works by Institutional Authors: [BB|ALWD]
Special Case 2  Services: [BB|ALWD]
Citations to material in such a service include the name or title of the cited document in accordance with the rules applicable to its type (cases, administrative material, etc.). The portion of the citation identifying the document's address in the service includes: volume, abbreviated title (not italicized), publisher in parentheses, subdivision «e.g.». In cases where the volume designation is not simply a number it should be placed in brackets to separate it from the work's title «e.g.». The date accompanying the citation (in most cases, at the end, in parentheses) is the full date of the cited document «e.g.».
Special Case 3  Restatements: [BB|ALWD]
Special Case 4  Annotations: [BB|ALWD]
Annotations in the American Law Reports (A.L.R.) are treated as articles in a collection or journal. Since the online versions in LexisNexis and Westlaw fail to show original interior pagination, they require the use of section numbers in any pinpoint reference.
