The first time a case of statute name appears in the main text, TLR uses the full case/statute name, with no abbreviations, in the textual sentence. There must be a citation to the case in a footnote to the sentence. If the citation sentence includes other authorities, TLR prefers that this case citation appear first. The same rule applies to statutes. This is a TLR rule that does not appear in the Bluebook. The case/statute citation may be a short citation if the full citation is found within the five preceding footnotes or the citation may be Id. if appropriate. Follow Bluebook 4.1 for uses of Id.
EXAMPLES:
In Monell v. Department of Social Services, the Supreme Court established that municipalities may be held liable for violating individuals’ civil rights.1
