Although the Court’s website indicates that the “Reports of Cases” are now published exclusively online, for BB purposes these Reports should not be cited in a similar fashion, as they obviously lack both a volume number (I for Court of Justice cases, II for General Court cases) and consecutive pagination. Not only is the wording of this rule almost verbatim to what appeared in the 19 th edition, but “Reports of cases before the Court of Justice” in T3.3 lists the coverage as 1973-date with the recent changes, the most correct coverage date range should instead read 1973-2011. Now that we have received our shiny new copies of the 20 th edition, it would appear that there have been no changes to rule 21.5.2(a) that would indicate to the reader that the Reports of cases before the Court of Justice and the General Court, aka the ECR, has ceased publication in print as of January 1, 2012. Last summer I wrote a short p ost for this blog detailing the changes to official reporting of cases from the Court of Justice of the European Union, and asked the question of how librarians would deal with this while waiting for the 20 th edition of the Bluebook (BB) to be published.
