There are some limitations on what CiteGenie™
can do when presented
with certain situations:
- The principle feature set of CiteGenie™ is
for citing case law.
Citation of other sources such as law reviews and statutes, is not as
advanced as the citation abilities for case law.
- CiteGenie™
can not make adjustments to capitalization in case
names or article titles, so it will report then as it finds them.
For frequently found capitalization problems (such as a service using
"Fec" for "FEC or "Federal Election Commission") you can add the
correct form to your supplemental abbreviations, found on the Legal
Citation Options" tab in the CiteGenie™ configuration.
- To be consistent with *-pagination, when a service does not have
*-pagination for the first listed reporter, it should use **[page] to
indicate the pinpoint is to the second reporter. When CiteGenie™ sees
*[page],
CiteGenie™ thinks
it is for the first listed reporter when in
fact, in some cases, the *[page] is for the second listed reporter.
- CiteGenie™ can
not yet determine the author's name for law review
articles.
- CiteGenie™ does
not yet know the Bluebook name for all law reviews.
- CiteGenie™ does
a good job at detecting en banc, concurring, and
dissenting opinions, but that detection is not perfect.
- Party names for unions, cities, and in adversatial party
bankruptcy cases are particularly difficult to process automatically,
and will sometimes need to be corrected by hand.
- CiteGenie™ can
not include subsequent writ history for Texas opinions, but does
include the proper appellate court notion (including city/district)
You should also review the
differences
CiteGenie
™ has
between Westlaw and Lexis.
