I feel like I'm back in middle school and learning how to write a proper bibliography. All right, class, underline the title and then put a period. Do not underline the period! Et cetera, et cetera. I guess we have to go over this stuff at some point, but to spend a whole class on it?

Oh wait, prof just said that "The period in id. is underlined or italicized." So I guess we do underline the period.

Damn the complexities of law!
