You can go to the Purdue Owl for help for Bluebook citation help as well.
While working in Nexis Uni, the citation generator in the database can be used to select a citation format and copy the citation to the clipboard. Find your case and click on it to select it.
At the top of the page, click on Export Citation.
Select the format for the citation and click on Copy to Clipboard or copy and paste the citation yourself directly into your document.
Unfortunately, the Library does not have access to the online version of the Bluebook as institutional licenses are not available. Individuals may purchase their own subscription by visiting the Bluebook's website: https://www.legalbluebook.com/
