What you will be able to do

  1. Pick the right table for the question in front of you: a state, a federal court, a word, a journal, a history phrase, a foreign source, or the evidence behind a form.
  2. Read a row: the form, what it rests on (a rule, a count of what courts write, or the book's own choice) and when it was checked.
  3. Tell a binding rule in Table C from a usage count before you rely on either.
