Pending and Unreported Cases
February 2nd, 2010 by Joel FriedmanSpindle Law now supports authorities from pending and unreported cases. With these changes, contributors can cite authorities to slip opinions and electronic databases. If the case is subsequently published, the reporter citation can be added and Spindle Law will handle the proper BlueBook formatting. At a minimum, the case title, court, and full date of the opinion are required when entering a pending or unreported case. If the case is pending, the reporter and volume can be entered if known. Although optional, it is encouraged to include a citation to the slip opinion or an electronic database, or even better, both. To do so, just click on the “more…” button and then click on the appropriate button.

This has been a major step in increasing the scope of authorities that Spindle Law supports. As always, we welcome your feedback on this or any other feature.
