7 Question 7 of 10

7. Write this case name in long-form format under Bluebook rules. Important: Don’t copy the ALL CAPS caption. Type it with normal capitalization, then highlight it and click "Add Italics."

CATHOLIC CHARITIES BUREAU, INC., ET AL., PETITIONERS v. WISCONSIN LABOR & INDUSTRY REVIEW COMMISSION, ET AL.

Hint: Per Rule 10.2.1 and Table T6, "Wisconsin" becomes "Wis.", "Industry" becomes "Indus.", "Review" becomes "Rev.", and "Commission" becomes "Comm'n." Procedural phrases like "Petitioners" and "et al." are omitted. "Inc." stays because it's part of the entity's name.

8. Now, write this case name in short-form format under Bluebook rules. Again, don’t copy the ALL CAPS caption. Type it with normal capitalization, then highlight it and click "Add Italics."

CATHOLIC CHARITIES BUREAU, INC., ET AL., PETITIONERS v. WISCONSIN LABOR & INDUSTRY REVIEW COMMISSION, ET AL.

Hint: Under Rule 10.9, when neither party is a generic government entity like "State" or "Commonwealth," you generally use the first party's name for short form unless it would cause confusion. Here, "Catholic Charities Bureau, Inc." is distinctive enough to serve as the short form.

Hint: Under Rule 10.2.1 and Table T6, "University" becomes "Univ.", "Florida" becomes "Fla.", "Board" becomes "Bd.", and "Trustees" becomes "Trs." Procedural phrases ("Petitioners," "Respondent") and "et al." are omitted.

10. Now, write this case name in short-form format under Bluebook rules. Again, don’t copy the ALL CAPS caption. Type it with normal capitalization, then highlight it and click "Add Italics."
