The current edition of “The Bluebook: Uniform System of Citation,” is the 19th.
The editors come out with a new edition about once every five years, so a new edition will not be coming out any time soon.  But their website offers free updates between editions.
Law schools can subscribe to an electronic version, but the editors expect the print version will continue to be published.

This donation is no small contribution to our superseded ORS scanning project and I would be woefully remiss if I didn’t publicly thank the Oregon Supreme Court Justices for donating (lending!) to us their set of the superseded Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS).
We will take good care of it and see that it is returned, with a full set of digitized statutes.  (We also plan to create microfilm sets for archival purposes.)
Heretofore, we had been able to locate only 3 complete sets of these superseded statutes (a summary of the Long Road to Superseded ORS Digitization story is available at the project’s blog post), none of which was accessible except in Salem and Portland and none could be take off-site. (Incomplete sets exist in many libraries and on microfilm.)

This is the time of year when we start getting questions from people wanting the 2010 and 2011 Oregon Revised Statutes.
I’ve blogged about this before so just substitute the years 2010 (or 11) for 2009 (or 10) …. You can also read this post:  Where is the 2009 ORS? Hold Your Oregon Horses ….
Of course we still don’t know if there will be even-year ORS compilations or if the Legislature will still publish the odd-year ones with an even-year session law compilation.  We’ll wait to hear from Legislative Counsel on that decision.  They are the ones who do the almost thankless job of codifying the Oregon Laws.  (But we thank them!)
