Endnote is software that allows you to manage your bibliographic citations by automating and formatting your citations as you write. It is a fee-based product but an older version of the desktop software is available for checkout from the Law Library Circulation desk. Once you have the desktop version you can sync up your entries with the Endnote Web version so you can access your citation lists from anywhere.
