How much do you know about Case Citations? Our first Law School 101 article can help!

In a previous tip of the week, we showed you different case citation formats (see Legal Citation Formats), but how well do you know the basics of legal case citations? Our new article, Law School 101: Case Citations, answers the following questions:

• What is a case citation?
• Where do I find a citation?
• Why are there multiple citations for the same case?
• How do I find a case if I don’t have a citation?
