This website has been created to guide UMN law students competing in The Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition.

Guide to Frequently Cited Treaties

Bluebook Citation

The Official Jessup Rules require teams to identify their sources in their Memorials (written submissions). The Rules also require teams to use a citation form that provides a description of each authority that is adequate enough to allow a reasonable reader to identify and locate the authority in a publication of general circulation.

The Bluebook is one of 4 citation systems that the ILSA Executive Office recommends (the other 3 are: Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation; 
The Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities; Introduction to Basic Legal Citation - links to each are on the Competition's website under the "team resources" tab).
