We are members of the Yale Law School community. We share a commitment to ensure everyone has access to the rules of law. We sign this letter to celebrate the release of “Baby Blue”—an open, cost-free version of the rules of legal citation. (See http://goo.gl/NBrNGy).We believe that Baby Blue will help ensure that no one—whether a prisoner filing her habeas petition pro se; a public interest lawyer zealously representing indigent clients on a shoestring budget; or a first-generation professional pursuing her dream of becoming a lawyer—is denied access to these rules of legal citation. We believe democratizing the rules of citation increases access to justice for all.

When Baby Blue enters a period of public review, we look forward to offering our help and feedback. We encourage law students across the country to join us.

Baby Blue owes its existence to the dedication of Carl Malamud, Professor Christopher Sprigman, and students at New York University School of Law. Thanks to their efforts, everyone can freely access rules of legal citation.
