Exercise Answers: Reporter Abbreviations

Exercise 1
Here are the answers to the abbreviations for the various series:

Pacific Reporter
P.
P.2d
P.3d

Atlantic Reporter
A.
A.2d

North Eastern Reporter
N.E.
N.E.2d

North Western Reporter
N.W.
N.W.2d

South Eastern Reporter
S.E.
S.E.2d

South Western Reporter
S.W.
S.W.2d
S.W.3d

Southern Reporter
So.
So. 2d

(Please note that for some reason Bluebook places a space between the "So." and the "2d." Bluebook only does this for the Southern Reporter among its Regional Reporters. This causes great confusion. Even in one version of the Bluebook there were some citations with a space and some without. In addition, from our observations most attorneys do not include the space. Thus, you will need to be flexible according to your supervisor's wishes. For this course we recommend you use the space.)
