Legal Citation Question?

Question

f. supp. or f.supp. ???

Answer 1

Federal Supplemental Reporter - it's one of the books in which federal cases are reported.

F. Supp. is the correct bluebook citation form.
as in: Lance v. Dennis, 444 F. Supp. 2d 1149, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 56168 (D. Colo., 2006)

Answer 2

It is correctly cited as F.Supp. (with periods, capital letters, but no space between the F. and the Supp.) It reports only cases decided in the Federal District Court. Federal Court of Appeals cases are, just to make up a book and page number, 123 F.2d 456. 123 is the book number and 456 is the page number where the opinion is printed. F. Supp will have a book number in front and the page number in back also. 123 F.Supp. 456 is the way the citation looks. When they reach volume 999, it becomes F.2d; then F.3d. 2d just means "second" series of court reports; 3d means "third."

Answer 3

F. Supp.

Answer 4

I beleive its supplamental its usually a more recent case to the original

Answer 5

According to the Blue Book (rule 6.1) there is a space after the "F."

So, "F._Supp."
