Prince’s Dictionary of Legal Citations,
Ninth Edition

By: Mary Miles Prince

  • Updated to the 20th Edition Bluebook rules
  • Excellent resource for citation assistance for the legal community
  • New or revised technology citations cover ebooks, social media, and more

Prince’s Dictionary of Legal Citations assists the legal profession in citing legal authorities according to the rules given in The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, 20th ed. (2015). This title is a companion to The Bluebook (not a replacement) and applies Bluebook rules to a representative collection of common legal authorities. The citations included are based on Bluebook rules, and the abbreviations are those found in The Bluebook or derived from its guidelines.

Although The Bluebook strives to establish uniformity in citation form for court documents, the practitioner should remember that citation rules contained in local rules, state supreme court rules, rules of trial or appellate procedure, and statutes supersede Bluebook rules. Prince’s Dictionary includes both references to state court rules for citing cases and statutes and examples of how to cite cases according to those rules.

New to the Ninth Edition

In addition to updating both Bluebook and state court rule references, this edition has been updated to reflect all Twentieth Edition Bluebook revisions. The citations concerning the internet, electronic media, and other nonprint resources have been revised and expanded. Public domain information has been updated and includes additional domestic jurisdictions that now employ this form of citation. New or revised entries include ebooks, legal dictionaries, Facebook, Linkedin, online newspapers, newspaper editorials and opinions, plays, press releases, Twitter, American Law Institute publications such as Restatements, uniform acts and model codes, and examples throughout the book citing to online sources.

Prince’s Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations,

Seventh Edition

By: Mary Miles Prince

  • A comprehensive list of abbreviations for nearly 36,000 terms
  • More than 1,700 new and expanded abbreviations and acronym entries
  • Includes abbreviations for domestic, foreign, and international agencies, organizations, periodicals, reporters, popular acts, and legal terms and phrases
  • More than 5,600 new titles, names, and terms that have been abbreviated

When the first edition of Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations was published in 1979, it was the most concise and complete reference work on American legal abbreviations in existence.

The Seventh Edition of Prince’s Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations provides a comprehensive list of acronyms,  abbreviations, and symbols (for nearly 36,000 terms) found in primary and secondary sources of American legal literature: legal encyclopedias, law dictionaries, law reporters, loose-leaf services, law reviews, legal treatises, legal reference books, and citators. Providing this information in both forward and reverse order, this title assists users in identifying the meaning of abbreviations and acronyms (Part I) and in identifying abbreviations for titles, names, and terms (Part II).

Titles, names, and terms often have multiple abbreviations or acronyms. This book, without distinction, includes abbreviations established by well-recognized authorities such as The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation as well as abbreviations otherwise devised by authors in their efforts to shorten legal references and citations.

Because of a growing trend to omit periods, abbreviations may be listed in this book both with periods and elsewhere without, but which are otherwise the same and represent the same title, name, or term.
