Automating Legal Citation with CiteIt!

With CiteIt!, you never again have to type a legal citation into a document or spend time worrying about proper Bluebook formatting. Once a source has been imported or manually entered into CiteIt!, the program automatically formats the source according to the rules of The Bluebook or the ALWD Citation Manual, adding the necessary punctuation, spacing and text-formatting such as italics, underline and small-caps. CiteIt! then provides all of the possible citation forms, and a quick double-click inserts the properly-formatted citation directly into your document.
