  • Follow rules for analogous sources, create a hybrid of two or more rules to fit the situation
  • Find out how others have cited similar sources
    • Search in combined law journals databases in Lexis or Westlaw, follow the example of a trusted journal
    • But note that not all journals use Bluebook form
  • Remember the purpose of the Bluebook—to give readers enough information to find the source
