This Article presents The Bluebook as an important chronicler of legal scholarship and practice. New rules and amendments to old rules serve as archeological proof of changes in how scholars and practitioners view and use “the law.” Like high school students rushing to grab a copy of their school’s yearbook to glimpse the personalities and events that captured the eye of school photographers, legal scholars can trace important movements in the law and legal scholarship from edition to edition. The Eighteenth Edition is no exception to this theory. This Article traces changes in the latest edition to recent developments in legal research and citation practices.
