bills or resolutions originating in the House of

Laws (p. 82,
Bluebook):
"Since almost all legal works use notes for documentation and
few use bibliographies, the examples in... [the Legal
Citations] section [of the Chicago Manual of Style] are
given in note form only..." (p. 729, Chicago). "Citations in
predominately legal works may follow one of three guides: (1)
The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation,...(2)...the
ALWD Citation Manual: A Professional System of Citation...,
or (3) The University of Chicago Manual of Legal Citation..."
(p. 728, Chicago). Since The Bluebook is one of 3 legal citation guides
recommended in the Chicago Manual of Style, the
following example is from the 17th ed. of The Bluebook:
"When citing an entire act, give the page...on which the act
begins." (p. 82, Bluebook)
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Pub. L.
No. 91-190, 83 Stat. 852 (1970).

Treaties (p. 743,
Chicago):

alone..." (p. 743, Chicago)
United States. "Naval Armament Limitation Treaty."
February 26, 1922. United States
Statutes at Large 43,
pt. 2.
U. S. Supreme Court Decisions (p.
55, Bluebook):
The example of a citation to a U.S. Supreme Court case
in the Chicago Manual of Style is given in note rather
than in bibliographic form. Since the Chicago Manual of Style
recommends The Bluebook as one of 3 recommended
legal citation guides, the following example is from
the 17th ed. of The Bluebook:
U.S. Supreme Court case in U.S. Reports:
Meritor Sav. Bank v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57, 60 (1986).
Explanation of the above citation:
First Party v. Second Party, / vol. # of U.S. Reports /

East Journal 58, no. 1 (2004): 9-31.
Unpublished Oral Histories/Interviews
(p. 705,
Chicago):
"Unpublished interviews are best cited in text or in notes,
though they occasionally appear in bibliographies or reference
lists. Citations should include the names of both the person
interviewed and the interviewer; brief identifying
information, if appropriate; the place or date of the
interview (or both, if known); and, if a transcript or tape is

incorrect to include one or the other) when the issue number
