As a volunteer developer in the open-source Multilingual Zotero software project, Frank Bennett has spent the last five years making sure you never have to format a Bluebook citation manually again. The software extracts structured metadata, or information about a case or law review article, from documents in legal databases—including Fastcase—and also encourages database owners, like courts or legislatures, to add metadata to their documents. While citation-management systems like Multilingual Zotero have long been available in the arts and sciences, this is the first widespread application in the legal field.
