The Bluebook throws a curve at us with respect to Rule 17, where the Bluepages and Whitepages address different subjects.
The Bluepages cover court and litigation documents in B17, pp. 24-26. However, there is no corresponding rule in the Whitepages for court and litigation documents. To cite court and litigation documents for legal academic writing, a review of R10.8, pp. 112-15, will provide helpful guidance. Also, recall that case names are not italicized or underscored in the footnotes of legal academic writing
The Whitepages cover unpublished and forthcoming sources in R17, pp. 169-74. However, there is no corresponding rule in the Bluepages for this material. If the need for citation arises for a practitioner in a court document, the Whitepages will certainly bridge any citation gaps, as the Whitepages enlarges and expands the Bluepages.
