How retro. Whenever I see documents filed that adhere to 1970s format standards I kind of roll my eyes.
As far as the whole regional citation quirk conversation above goes, though, I have to say it happens where I am, too. There are a few things like the abbreviation for our court of appeals that for whatever reason gets abbreviated in a really screwy non-bluebook way. But if you do it bluebook, it just looks weird and out of place in the region -- like you're writing the document from out of state. Who knows... maybe they do it just to screw with out-of-staters.
