The Scoutline Citation Engine is a “strictly-typed” system that adheres to the most rigorous legal formatting standards.

The Rule Engine

Our engine incorporates thousands of individual Bluebook rules, including:
  • Case Names: Automatic abbreviation and italicization.
  • Pinpoint Citations: Handling diverse page and paragraph numbering schemes from different court reporters.
  • Signals & Parentheticals: Ensuring that complex explanatory parentheticals match the semantic context of the draft.

ALWD Support

For academic or specific jurisdictional requirements, the engine can be toggled to ALWD mode, ensuring that every period and comma is placed with precision.
