Q. How do I cite a statute in Bluebook format?

Bluebook Rule 12 gives the citation format for statutes. 

The citation should usually be to the current official code or its supplement. Rule 12 outlines when unofficial codes, session laws, etc. can be used.

Examples:

• United States Code: See 13 U.S.C. § 141 (2006).
• Oklahoma Statute: See Consumer Credit Code, Okla. Stat. tit. 14A, § 6-203 (1996).

Use the statute's name only when it is commonly referred to in that way, or if it would aid in identification.  

For more information, there are Bluebooks available at the Harvard Law School Library Circulation Desk on the 2nd floor and in Reference on the 3d floor.  You can also purchase a subscription to the Bluebook online at http://www.legalbluebook.com.
