I’ve used citations from other peoples documents , cut and pasted into mine, easy right .
it has just come to my attention that there’s a correct and professional way to make a citation…I’m sure marks mentioned it some where, but it’ll be one of those things i’ve glossed over.
The first 10 minutes of this talk brings the point of citations home …attached is a document summarizing how to make citations, the blue book he references can be found on archive.org The Bluebook 20ed ( 2015)

This is information from Wikipedia about the Blue Book: A Unform System of Citation…..The Supreme Court uses its own unique citation style in its opinions, even though most of the justices and their law clerks obtained their legal education at law schools that use The Bluebook. Furthermore, many state courts have their own citation rules that take precedence over the guide for documents filed with those courts. Some of the local rules are simple modifications to The Bluebook system. Delaware‘s Supreme Court has promulgated rules of citation for unreported cases markedly different from its standards, and custom in that state as to the citation format of the Delaware Uniform Citation code also differs from it. In other states, the local rules differ from The Bluebook in that they use their own style guides. Attorneys in those states must be able to switch seamlessly between citation styles depending upon whether their work product is intended for a federal or state court. California has allowed citations in Bluebook as well as the state’s own style manual, but many practitioners and courts continue recommending the California Style Manual.
