Bluebook style?
rmzelle opened this issue · 8 comments
What was the deal with https://github.com/zotero/styles-repo/blob/master/include/bluebook-19th.csl again? I can't even find this version in the repo right now: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=bluebook. I recall Frank asked to have it removed from the central CSL VCS at some point. @fbennett? @adam3smith?
Yeah, I raised a flag about BB out of am excess of sensitivity, but I think the consensus was that it was okay to stay. IIRC though that particular version was not of very good quality.
so what I'd like to do, mainly as a political act, is to go ahead and code
a high quality version of Baby Blue. We could just put that out instead.
Or, if we want to be cheeky, make Bluebook a dependent style of it. :P

Juris-M would be a better fit, for the extended fields and item types, and to handle jurisdiction variants.
yeah, but also a more significant time investment and visible to a smaller
audience, so there's a trade-off.

It should work okay if you limit cases to the US Supreme Court, and statutes to the US Code.
so what I'd like to do, mainly as a political act, is to go ahead and code a high quality version of Baby Blue
That'd be great. We could even put "(US Code)" or something into the title to indicate its limitations?
Well, I was exaggerating just a bit there ... actually, if the style front matter could include a pointer to Juris-M, it would be very helpful. JM no longer modifies the Zotero DB, so users would not be trapped if they decide to go back.
I'll certainly keep pointing to juris-m at every opportunity (including in
the style summary, sure) and as you know it will remain the only way to go
for full legal support for certainly the near future. And I'd be happy to
collaborate on a juris-m version -- but whereas I can just grab a bottle of
wine and do this in vanilla CSL in an evening, csl-m would take me more
like a weekend...
