| 22 | NEW: Tribal Nations | NEW rule for materials issuing from Tribal Nations | This is a new rule to the 22nd edition, intended to "facilitate accurate and respectful legal scholarship and practice" by providing guidance for how to cite to official materials issuing from these sovereign governments. The rule explicitly accounts for the individuality and autonomy of each Tribal Nation and defers to Tribal Nation itself if such Tribal Nation has created its own citation conventions. |
| 22.1 | Tribal Nations: Tribes with an Established Citation Format | NEW rule requiring parallel citations to Bluebook convention and any existing Tribal Nation's own legal citation convention | Should a Tribal Nation already have its own legal citation convention established, this rule requires that the author's citation to the Tribal Nation's legal documents include a citation according to that Tribal Nation's format, as well as a parallel citation using the rules established in 22.2. |
| 22.2 | Tribal Nations: Tribes without an Established Citation Format | NEW rule specifying a uniform citation format for official Tribal Nation materials | Includes guidance for Tribal Nation constitutions, statutory codes, orders, ordinances, resolutions, cases, and treaties. These rules largely mirror the other Bluebook rules but authors referring to these documents in their scholarship should closely familiarize themselves with rule 22's dictates. |
| 22.3 | Tribal Nations: Short Form Citations | NEW rule for short form citations to Tribal Nation materials | Again, not a substantial departure from other short form citation rules. |
