Table of AuthoritiesTable of AuthoritiesHOW? A TOA draws from all of the
“marked” citations in a document. A “marked” citation will be tagged with special information (which can be modified).
A tag for a citation may look something like this: U.S. v. DiPrima, 472 F.2d 550, 551 (1st Cir. 1973) { TA \l “U.S. v. DiPrima, 472 F.2d 550” \s “472 F2d. at” \c9 }
Huhh????Huhh????What does this mean?
U.S. v. DiPrima, 472 F.2d 550, 551 (1st Cir. 1973) { TA \l “U.S. v. DiPrima, 472 F.2d 550” \s “472 F2d. at” \c9 }◦ The full or long citation follows the code “ \l ”
Purpose: Identifies how the citation should look in the TOA
◦ The short citation follows the code “ \s ” Purpose: Helps Word Mark All remaining citations for the
case.
◦ The last code – “ \c ” is the category number. Purpose: Organizes your Table of Authorities into
Categories.
Setting Up CategoriesSetting Up CategoriesMost trial and appellate briefs are
likely to have at least two different categories of authorities◦Here are some sample categories you
could set up before you begin to mark your citations: Supreme Court of the United States Other Federal Authority State Court Decisions Statutory Provisions United States Constitution
Setting Up CategoriesSetting Up Categories Insert>Reference>
Index and Tables> Mark Citation> Category, OR Alt+Shift+I>Category
The first seven categories are pre-defined. Scroll down until you find an unused option (8, 9, 10, etc.) Replace the # with your own custom category.
Marking CitationsMarking CitationsFor Most Citations
◦ Highlight the first citation
◦ Insert>Reference>Index and Tables>Mark Citation OR Alt+Shift+I
◦ Correct your long cite to remove pinpoint cite
◦ Correct short citations, so that you can "mark all“ – e.g., “994 F.2d at”
◦ Select Mark All
Finding the Next CitationFinding the Next CitationSelect “Next
Citation” and Repeat the Process:◦ Select Next Citation◦ Highlight the entry◦ Alt+Shift+I◦ Correct your long cite
to remove pinpoint cite
◦ Correct short citations, so that you can "mark all“ – e.g., “994 F.2d at”
◦ Select Mark All
Marking CitationsMarking CitationsSecond Occurrence of same long
citation:◦ Best practice for briefs is to repeat a long
citation if a short citation would be confusing to the reader – e.g., new page, new subheading, etc.
◦ Treat as a new citation (with a couple twists) Select Next Citation Highlight the entry Alt+Shift+I BUT – instead of correcting the long and short
citation, simply pick the case from the Short Citation List.
AND – Select Mark (NOT Mark All)
Marking CitationsMarking CitationsSecond Occurrence of same long citation
example
Marking CitationsMarking CitationsDeadling with "Id.___”
◦ Obviously Id. can refer to any case AND you won't find it using "next citation"
◦ Select Edit>Find OR Ctrl-F to search for cases of "Id."
◦ Simply select from the short citation drop down box to find the related case.
◦ Select Mark

Citation function in Word? And how do I create one?
