brand of any commercial compilation used, not prepared under direct supervision of the
state - LexisNexis in the second example, West in the third. Both also call for adding the
designation "Ann." when the compilation's name includes the word "annotated." The AALL
Universal Citation Guide would not include the publisher in any case nor would it indicate

** Within Nevada, this more economical statutory citation format is used in decisions of the
state's own courts and submissions to them, under circumstances where there is little
ambiguity about which jurisdiction's statutes and which version are referred to. See Nev.
Rev. Stat. § 220.170(4) (2009).
New Hampshire

* Both The Bluebook and ALWD Citation Manual call for identification of the publisher or
brand of any commercial compilation used, not prepared under direct supervision of the
state - LexisNexis in the second example. In jurisdictions where there are multiple print
editions, the ALWD Citation Manual identifies all publishers even the one whose version is
"official" being produced under contract with the state (West in this case). Both also call for
adding the designation "Ann." when the compilation's name includes the word "annotated."
The AALL Universal Citation Guide would not include the publisher in any case nor would it
indicate whether the version used was annotated.
** Within New Hampshire this more economical statutory citation format, with no explicit
indication of jurisdiction, is used in decisions of the state's own courts and submissions to
them, under circumstances where there is little ambiguity about which jurisdiction's statutes
are referred to.
