Level 2: Write Short-Form Citations (W.F. v. State)
0%
Instructions: Type the correct short form. Use the button to italicize the party name or Id. Be precise with spaces and "at," but punctuation around italics is scored leniently.
Tips—Use Id. when the very next citation is to the same case; add "at" plus a pincite when citing the same case but a different page. Use the short form with the case name + volume number + reporter + at [page] when you cited the case in full earlier in your document but the previous sentence cited another source. (R10.9. See Handbook p. 393).
