UW also provides a comprehensive guide. It includes videos including for important topics like Signals, Cross-References, and Online Sources.

In addition to an effective citation generator, Hein provides pdf originals of most US law review articles. These can be a very useful because they let you see how others have cited a source.

Follow the link and sign into Lexis. Choose go to Lexis+. Then click the box in the top left next to the Lexis+ logo, and select Interactive Citation Workstation. The bottom right box (called Student Citation Manual Exercises) will take you to online exercises that you can use to learn the Bluebook.
