Texas Supreme Court Justice Don Willett is the gift that keeps on giving. After delivering a fantastic Quote of the Day yesterday, last night Texas’s “Tweeter Laureate” drew our attention to this stunning discovery:
WHAT??? A Bluebooking mistake in The Bluebook (affiliate link), sacred text of law school gunners everywhere?
It’s hard to believe, but Columbia Law Review, one of the four law reviews involved in producing The Bluebook, appears to have confessed error:
Keeping Law School Accessible When Federal Loans Fall Short
As federal borrowing caps tighten financing options for law students, one organization is stepping in to negotiate the terms they can't secure alone.
This is all very distressing — but maybe the Bluebook editors had it coming:
I apologize if I have ruined your day by sharing this news of a Bluebooking mistake. Please trust me when I say that it hurts me more than it hurts you.
The widely followed Justice Willett deserves credit for alerting the legal Twittersphere to the mistake, but he did not discover the error himself. He credits Anthony Glosson (@glossontech), a 2015 grad of GW Law, with the catch:
If there any judges out there who flip out over a failure to italicize the periods in “Id.” citations (a la Judge Christina Wong Stinson (9th Cir.)), reach out to Glosson and offer him a clerkship!
