We constantly strive to improve CiteStack, but as any law school graduate knows, formatting citations is not easy.
Thus, CiteStack does not format every citation perfectly. For example, at present CiteStack relies on a header Google Scholar provides,
and this header is not always accurate. As a result, some citations are incorrectly formatted.
(For example, Scholar’s caption for Orange County Argic. Society, Inc. v. Comm’r, 893 F.2d 529 (2d Cir.1990), reads "Orange County Agricultural Society, Inc., Petitioner-Appellant, v. Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, Respondent-Appellee." Scholar, however, replaces
"Commissioner of Internal Revenue" with "CIR." At the present time, CiteStack uses this header to create its citation, and as a result CiteStack’s citation reads "Orange County Argic. Society, Inc. v. CIR" rather than "Orange County Argic. Society, Inc. v. Comm’r.") Accordingly, you should independently check CiteStack’s citation for your final work product.
If you want CiteStack to generate
the Bluebook citation for a particular court, please
tell us. We update CiteStack's Bluebooking
ability based on user feedback. Your Chrome browser will enable
you to receive any updates promptly after their release.
