Recently Revised and Keyed to the New 21st Edition of The Bluebook, Published in July 2020.
Effective legal writers must possess a clear understanding of proper Bluebook citation for the sources that undergird their writing. West Academic’s Interactive Legal Citation Assessment both teaches and tests this crucial legal skill—and it does so for writers of office and court documents, as well as for writers of law journal articles. Mary B. Trevor, a legal writing professor with over two decades of experience, has crafted a collection of more than two hundred multiple-choice questions that focus on proper Bluebook citation. Trevor designed the questions to reflect—and to correct—the most common errors she saw during a career spent providing feedback to law students working to develop the specific, challenging, and important skills associated with legal citation.

Interactive Legal Citation Assessment is designed to be a self-assessment tool. Students can work at their own pace in our cleanly designed digital format. The questions are broken into specific categories, so users can focus on particular topics where improvement might be needed. Right answers include an explanation of why an answer is correct. More importantly, the detailed explanations accompanying wrong answers provide a real opportunity for learning.

The sophisticated, yet simple, user-interface provides students with many useful options:

  • Tracking progress through questions covering a specific subtopic
  • Viewing scores after completing a quiz
  • Marking specific questions for further review
  • Retaking a quiz any number of times

Faculty who adopt Interactive Legal Citation Assessment for their courses have access to detailed reporting, available by subtopic. Contact your West Academic Account Manager for complimentary review access and to learn more about available reporting and school-wide discounts.

Interactive Grammar and Usage Assessment is also available individually, or bundled together with Interactive Grammar and Usage & Interactive Legal Citation Assessments.
