Citation Code Reference Table Atlas

Original research draft · October 2026

Expanded original research draft edition. Research cutoff: October 8, 2026.

These tables were independently authored for Citation Code from the primary sources identified beside each table. Their selection, columns, examples and explanations are original. They are not a conversion of another manual's table rows.

Three kinds of content are kept distinct: a source fact identifies what an official publication actually calls or numbers; a Citation Code house choice states this book's preferred presentation; a fictional training object supplies stipulated facts for a completed example. Receiving court, journal, instructor or employer requirements take priority over a house choice.

Every record marked TRAIN is fictional. Its people, titles, dates, page numbers, document numbers, quotations and crosswalks are invented for instruction; it is not a reported case or real evidence. Real statutes, publications, courts and historical opinions are identified by their official sources. Reserved example.com addresses are demonstration addresses.

The research cutoff is October 8, 2026. An edition year or historical rulemaking date identifies a consulted version; it does not establish that no later amendment, correction or treatment exists. These selected tables do not claim exhaustive jurisdictional coverage or decide a source's controlling force.

Read the when-to-use sentence before using a row. Its first columns identify the object and the needed coordinate; its final column explains the ambiguity the construction resolves. Use the linked chapters for the surrounding rule or workflow.

The atlas contains 24 tables and 305 rows. Each AT label is a reader-facing table number; the corresponding table-atlas-* anchor is its stable digital destination. Each data row also has a stable identifier in the companion JSON for future indexing and maintenance.

AT01. Identify the publication before choosing its citation form

When to use: Use when a search result, PDF cover, or database label gives you several plausible source names. The row identifies the publication object you actually possess; it does not certify the authority of a proposition in it.

Scope: United States federal publication systems and selected New York reporting sources. Facts concern container identity. The construction decisions are Citation Code editorial defaults.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

What you possess	Identity to record	Coordinate that travels with it	Construction decision
Supreme Court bound opinion PDF beginning at printed 662	United States Reports, volume 556; Ashcroft v. Iqbal	556 U.S. 662; use the supporting printed page as the additional pinpoint	A PDF file is a delivery format; it does not replace the reporter identity.
Supreme Court preliminary print, volume 577, part 1	United States Reports preliminary print; volume and part	Keep the volume/part publication stage in the source record	Confirm the final pagination before replacing a slip citation with a bound-volume form.
Page-proof volume bearing the Court's watermark	United States Reports page proof	Preserve the displayed volume and page numbers, plus proof status	Do not remove the proof label merely because the PDF comes from the Court.
2024 section download from the USCODE collection	United States Code, 2024 edition	Title, section, subdivisions, and 2024 version	The filename's repository hierarchy is not an extra statutory subdivision.
Public Law 117-2 pamphlet	American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, slip law	Public-law number; act section; 135 Stat. page	A cover leaf does not turn viewer page 1 into the act's first printed page.
A law inside Statutes at Large volume 135	Chronological enactment publication	Volume 135 and printed page; retain law/act identity when useful	Do not substitute the later code section for an enactment-history claim.
2024 annual CFR volume	Code of Federal Regulations annual snapshot	Title, section, edition year and revision date in the source record	An October download does not change a January revision date.
April 20, 2026 Federal Register document	Federal Register publication of a particular agency document	Volume 91, beginning page 20902, publication date and document type	Distinguish the document's agency text from adjacent material on the same printed page.
BILLS-117hr1319enr	H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, enrolled version	Chamber/measure number, Congress and enrolled stage	The suffix identifies the version; it is not a statutory section.
A committee report from the CRPT collection	House, Senate, executive or conference report	Report series and number, Congress, part if present, pinpoint	A committee report number is not the number of its associated bill.
A hearing PDF from the CHRG collection	Particular committee hearing publication	Committee, hearing title/date, witness or component and printed page	A witness statement is attributed to that witness, not silently to the entire committee.
A daily Congressional Record page beginning with H	House section of the daily Congressional Record	Volume, H-prefixed page and issue date	Keep the prefix; H123 and S123 are different coordinates.

Use the publication's own identity even when a commercial or public database supplied the copy. A provider name can identify an access route without becoming the author.

A source register may preserve more metadata than the final citation. Preserve fields needed to distinguish two versions even when a particular receiving rule does not print every field.

Primary sources and their scope: Supreme Court: U.S. Reports publication guide; GPO United States Code guide; GPO Statutes at Large guide; GPO Public and Private Laws guide; GPO Code of Federal Regulations guide; GPO Federal Register guide; GPO Congressional Bills guide; GPO Congressional Reports guide; GPO Congressional Hearings guide; GPO Congressional Record guide; New York Law Reporting Bureau publications; Ashcroft v. Iqbal, official U.S. Reports PDF; DOJ 2026 compliance-date interim final rule.

AT02. Separate an opinion's name, date, reporter, page and speaker

When to use: Use while transferring case metadata into a citation or replacing a slip reference. These completed fields show why adjacent numbers and headings do different work.

Scope: Historical source-identity facts from three official Supreme Court PDFs. This table neither summarizes holdings nor supplies subsequent-treatment conclusions.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Source field	Completed fact	Use in the reference	Error the distinction prevents
Iqbal reporter identity	556 U.S. 662 (2009)	Volume 556; United States Reports; beginning printed page 662; decision year 2009	Treating 556 as a docket number or 662 as the pinpoint for every proposition.
Iqbal docket number	No. 07-1015	Store as a separate case-identity field	Changing the decision year to 2007 because the docket begins with 07.
Iqbal argued date	December 10, 2008	Record the argument event if the research concerns argument	Using the argument date as the decision date.
Iqbal decision date	May 18, 2009	Record the decision event; use 2009 in this reporter example	Mistaking the October Term 2008 heading for the decision year.
Iqbal beginning page	Printed 662	Preserve 662 in the full reporter citation	Replacing the beginning page with the passage pinpoint and losing the case's opening coordinate.
Iqbal passage at printed 678	556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009)	Use 678 for the identified passage in the Court's opinion	Citing viewer page 17 as reporter page 17.
Iqbal Souter writing	Souter dissent begins at printed 687	Identify Souter's dissent when using that writing	Treating all pages of one case PDF as majority reasoning.
Iqbal Breyer writing	Breyer dissent begins at printed 699	Keep the speaker/writing qualifier with a pinpoint such as 700	Assigning a dissent's discussion to the Court.
Brown beginning page	347 U.S. 483 (1954)	Volume 347 and first printed page 483 identify this reported decision	Reusing 483 as a substantive pinpoint without reading the passage.
Brown printed page 495	347 U.S. 483, 495 (1954)	Preserve beginning page 483 and supporting page 495 as separate fields	Replacing a volume/page pair with a PDF index.
Marbury parallel volume naming	5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803)	Preserve the nominative reporter information where the receiving form calls for it	Treating 5 U.S. and 1 Cranch as two different cases.
Marbury supporting printed page	5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137, 177 (1803)	The pinpoint is 177 in the printed report	Converting a scan's image sequence into an unverified reporter pinpoint.

The Iqbal PDF's first printed page is 662, so printed 678 is viewer page 17 in that particular 39-page file. That arithmetic is file-specific; it is not a rule for other scans.

Abbreviated case names here are Citation Code display choices. Caption details, procedural roles and complete publication metadata remain in the research record.

Primary sources and their scope: Ashcroft v. Iqbal, official U.S. Reports PDF; Brown v. Board of Education, official U.S. Reports PDF; Marbury v. Madison, official U.S. Reports PDF.

AT03. Federal circuit identity: preserve the institution, then shorten clearly

When to use: Use when a docket export, caption, or research note says only a number or a place. The selected location helps distinguish institutions; it is not an appellate-jurisdiction test.

Scope: Circuit names and selected geographic examples drawn from 28 U.S.C. § 41 in the 2024 edition. This is not a complete current territory/routing table. The shortened labels are Citation Code house labels, subject to receiving requirements.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Issuing institution	Citation Code short label	Selected identity check	Do not infer
United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit	First Circuit	Puerto Rico appears with Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island in § 41	A Puerto Rico source is not necessarily a Commonwealth-court source.
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit	Second Circuit	New York is a listed component jurisdiction	The New York Court of Appeals is a different institution.
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit	Third Circuit	New Jersey and the Virgin Islands appear in the statutory composition	A numbered state appellate department is not this federal circuit.
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit	Fourth Circuit	Maryland and Virginia are listed component jurisdictions	Maryland's former Court of Appeals is not the federal Fourth Circuit.
United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit	Fifth Circuit	Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas are listed components	The word Texas alone does not identify this court rather than a Texas state court.
United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit	Sixth Circuit	Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee are listed components	A local court called Circuit Court is not a federal court of appeals.
United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit	Seventh Circuit	Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin are listed components	A Seventh Judicial District is not this circuit.
United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit	Eighth Circuit	Minnesota and Missouri are listed component jurisdictions	A location clue does not establish which appeal route applies to a specialized matter.
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit	Ninth Circuit	California, Guam and Hawaii appear in the statutory composition	Do not derive a complete territorial-jurisdiction map from this selected example.
United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit	Tenth Circuit	Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma are listed components	A state Tenth District label is not interchangeable with this circuit.
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit	Eleventh Circuit	Alabama, Florida and Georgia are listed components	A federal district court in one of those states is not the court of appeals.
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit	D.C. Circuit	The official court masthead includes United States and Circuit	Do not shorten it to D.C. Court of Appeals.
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit	Federal Circuit	Section 41 describes its territorial composition as all federal judicial districts	Nationwide composition does not mean every federal appeal goes there.

For compact parentheticals, a receiving rule may prescribe labels such as 1st Cir. or D.C. Cir. This table's ordinary-language labels do not override those instructions.

The 2024 statutory composition text contains historical wording, including a Canal Zone reference. The table deliberately supplies selected identity checks rather than presenting that text as a cleaned current jurisdiction map.

Primary sources and their scope: 28 U.S.C. § 41, 2024 edition; United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

AT04. Court names that lose meaning when shortened too far

When to use: Use before replacing a full court name with Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Appellate Court or a state abbreviation. Retain the level and branch that distinguish the actual institution.

Scope: Selected New York, Maryland, Texas and federal institutions. Names and structural descriptions are source facts; the suggested retained labels are editorial decisions. No exhaustive state survey is claimed.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Document's institution	Retain in the source record	Completed distinguishing label	Why the extra words matter
New York Court of Appeals	New York; Court of Appeals	New York Court of Appeals	This is the state's highest court, although its name does not say Supreme.
New York Supreme Court, trial level	New York; Supreme Court; county when supplied	New York Supreme Court, Kings County	Omitting the county and trial-level context can invite an incorrect highest-court assumption.
New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division	New York; Appellate Division; department	Appellate Division, First Department	The department distinguishes the branch; Supreme Court alone obscures appellate identity.
New York Supreme Court, Appellate Term	New York; Appellate Term; applicable department/district description	Appellate Term, Second Department	Appellate Term and Appellate Division are different institutional labels.
Maryland Court of Appeals before the rename	Historical court name appearing on the decision	Court of Appeals of Maryland (historical name)	A historical record should remain searchable under the name printed when it issued.
Supreme Court of Maryland after the rename	Supreme Court of Maryland; relevant date	Supreme Court of Maryland	Use the historical name on an older decision rather than silently modernizing the court identification.
Maryland Court of Special Appeals before the rename	Historical intermediate appellate name	Court of Special Appeals of Maryland (historical name)	Removing Special can turn the old intermediate-court name into the old highest-court name.
Appellate Court of Maryland after the rename	Appellate Court of Maryland; relevant date	Appellate Court of Maryland	Its post-rename label differs from Supreme Court of Maryland.
Supreme Court of Texas	Texas; Supreme Court	Supreme Court of Texas	The October 2026 chart assigns final civil and juvenile appellate jurisdiction here.
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals	Texas; Court of Criminal Appeals	Texas Court of Criminal Appeals	The same chart places final criminal appellate jurisdiction in this separate court.
Texas Fifteenth Court of Appeals	Texas; Fifteenth Court of Appeals	Fifteenth Court of Appeals of Texas	The October 2026 chart distinguishes its statewide role from the regional First–Fourteenth courts.
United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit	United States; District of Columbia Circuit	D.C. Circuit	Dropping Circuit and United States erases the federal institutional identity.

Maryland's December 7, 2022 notice states that preexisting case numbers do not change merely because the appellate courts are renamed. Keep the number printed in the actual case record.

Structural descriptions identify a tribunal. They do not decide whether a particular disposition is precedential, appealable, citable or controlling.

Primary sources and their scope: New York Court System Outline; New York Courts: Appellate Courts; Maryland Judiciary appellate-court name-change notice; Texas court structure chart, October 2026; United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

AT05. Constitutional coordinates without invented subdivisions

When to use: Use when a proposition identifies a constitutional clause or amendment by a familiar name. Construct the coordinate from the actual hierarchy and retain the amendment/article distinction.

Scope: United States Constitution and ratified amendments, using National Archives transcriptions. Locators identify text; they do not state the present doctrinal scope of a constitutional right or power.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Text being identified	Completed Citation Code locator	Hierarchy to preserve	Boundary
Commerce clause text in Article I	U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cl. 3	Article; section; clause	Clause 3 is not amendment III.
Necessary and Proper Clause text	U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, cl. 18	Article I; section 8; final numbered clause	Do not shorten to section 18.
Presidential oath text	U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 8	Article II; section 1; clause 8	The article numeral remains II even when a source displays modern headings.
Judicial power text	U.S. Const. art. III, § 1	Article III; section 1	Do not invent a numbered paragraph for an unnumbered transcription passage.
Article III case categories	U.S. Const. art. III, § 2, cl. 1	Article III; section 2; clause 1	An explanatory website heading is not part of the constitutional hierarchy.
Supremacy Clause text	U.S. Const. art. VI, cl. 2	Article VI; clause 2	Article VI has no numbered section 2 in this construction.
First Amendment	U.S. Const. amend. I	Amendment I	Do not assign an official section number to the unsectioned amendment.
Fourth Amendment	U.S. Const. amend. IV	Amendment IV	A sentence or phrase description may narrow discussion without inventing section 1.
Fifth Amendment	U.S. Const. amend. V	Amendment V	A named protection within the amendment is not automatically a separately numbered clause.
Thirteenth Amendment, first section	U.S. Const. amend. XIII, § 1	Amendment XIII; section 1	Preserve the section because section 2 is a separate provision.
Fourteenth Amendment, first section	U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 1	Amendment XIV; section 1	A locator to the whole amendment is broader than a locator to section 1.
Twenty-Sixth Amendment, first section	U.S. Const. amend. XXVI, § 1	Amendment XXVI; section 1	Preserve the Roman numeral rather than silently converting it to Article XXVI.

The National Archives Bill of Rights page also explains the original proposed articles. For a citation to a ratified amendment, use its ratified amendment number rather than the proposal's position.

Article and clause numbering may be supplied as conventional navigation labels even where the engrossed original is not printed as a modern numbered outline. Confirm the passage, not merely the label.

Primary sources and their scope: National Archives Constitution transcription; National Archives Amendments 11–27; National Archives Bill of Rights transcription.

AT06. Complete statutory pinpoints from the 2024 Code

When to use: Use to check whether a pinpoint stops too early or silently changes a letter, case or nesting level. The examples are coordinates to the identified 2024 compilation, not conclusions about a live dispute.

Scope: Selected provisions of titles 5 and 17 in the 2024 United States Code. Citation Code chooses the display form; the underlying subdivision labels are source facts.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Needed coordinate	Completed reference	What the last element selects	Repair to reject
FOIA request provision	5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(3)(A) (2024)	Lettered subparagraph A inside paragraph 3 of subsection a	§ 552(3)(A) drops an actual hierarchy level.
FOIA fee-award subparagraph	5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E)(i) (2024)	Lowercase Roman clause i inside uppercase E	§ 552(a)(4)(e)(1) substitutes different characters.
FOIA judicial-order alternative	5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E)(ii)(I) (2024)	Uppercase Roman subclause I inside clause ii	Stopping at E conceals which alternative is being discussed.
FOIA voluntary-change alternative	5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E)(ii)(II) (2024)	Uppercase Roman subclause II	Repeating subclause I points to different text.
FOIA first exemption	5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(1) (2024)	Paragraph 1 of subsection b	(a)(1) is another location, not an interchangeable abbreviation.
FOIA definition subsection	5 U.S.C. § 552(f) (2024)	The complete subsection f	Do not add a paragraph number unless the particular definition is identified.
Reproduction-right clause	17 U.S.C. § 106(1) (2024)	Numbered clause 1	§ 106(a)(1) invents a lettered level absent from this provision.
Sound-recording performance clause	17 U.S.C. § 106(6) (2024)	Numbered clause 6	The digit 6 is a clause number, not a statutory page.
First fair-use factor	17 U.S.C. § 107(1) (2024)	First numbered factor	A pinpoint to (1) does not represent all four factors.
Second fair-use factor	17 U.S.C. § 107(2) (2024)	Second numbered factor	Preserve (2), even if an excerpt presents factors as bullet points.
Third and fourth fair-use factors	17 U.S.C. § 107(3)–(4) (2024)	Two adjacent numbered factors	Do not use (3)(4), which falsely suggests nested levels.
Section 109, subsection a	17 U.S.C. § 109(a) (2024)	Subsection a	A whole-section reference is broader and should not masquerade as this pinpoint.

The parenthetical 2024 identifies the consulted compilation. It does not say the provision was enacted in 2024 or that later law has been checked.

A citation to a numbered factor or exception establishes where its text is located. Applying that text requires the surrounding provision and relevant law.

Primary sources and their scope: 5 U.S.C. § 552, 2024 edition; 17 U.S.C. § 106, 2024 edition; 17 U.S.C. § 107, 2024 edition; 17 U.S.C. § 109, 2024 edition.

AT07. One enacted law, several identifiers: keep each coordinate in its system

When to use: Use when a bill, a public-law PDF, a Statutes at Large page, a code note and a code provision all appear in one research trail. This actual publication chain shows which number belongs to which object.

Scope: American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 historical publication identity. The table does not analyze eligibility, payments, expiration, subsequent amendments or current tax treatment.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Research object	Completed identity or location	Meaning of the coordinate	Citation decision
House measure	H.R. 1319, 117th Congress	1319 is a House bill number within the 117th Congress	Do not write Public Law 1319.
House-passed publication	BILLS-117hr1319eh	EH identifies the engrossed House version	Name the stage when discussing that text rather than later enacted language.
Senate-amendment publication	BILLS-117hr1319eas	EAS identifies an engrossed Senate amendment	Keep the amendment version distinct from the House text.
Enrolled publication	BILLS-117hr1319enr	ENR identifies the enrolled measure	Its bill-page numbering does not become Statutes at Large pagination.
Enacted law number	Pub. L. No. 117-2	117 identifies the Congress; 2 identifies this public law	Do not treat the hyphenated pair as a section range.
Enactment date on the law	March 11, 2021	The date is printed with the public-law identification	A later PDF production timestamp is not the enactment date.
Law's opening printed page	135 Stat. 4	135 is the Statutes at Large volume; 4 is the beginning page	The PDF's unnumbered cover precedes this printed page.
Short-title provision	Pub. L. No. 117-2, § 1, 135 Stat. 4, 4 (2021)	Act section 1 supplies the short title	The repeated page 4 is intelligible: first page and pinpoint coincide.
Act section adding a Code provision	Pub. L. No. 117-2, § 9601(a), 135 Stat. 4, 138 (2021)	Act section 9601(a) begins the insertion of Internal Revenue Code § 6428B	Do not write 26 U.S.C. § 9601 merely because 9601 appears in the act.
Inserted provision label	Internal Revenue Code § 6428B, inserted by § 9601(a)	6428B belongs to the amended Code; 9601 belongs to the amending act	Cite the act for the historical insertion, then separately identify any Code version actually used.

The source's § 9601(a) and the provision it adds are nested in different documents. Copying only the nearest bold section heading can swap the two systems.

A marginal classification note is a navigation aid. It should not replace the actual act section when the claim concerns what Congress enacted in that act.

Primary sources and their scope: American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 slip law; H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, enrolled version; H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, engrossed House version; H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, engrossed Senate amendment; GPO Public and Private Laws guide; GPO Statutes at Large guide; GPO United States Code guide.

AT08. Annual CFR snapshots: the year does not supply the month

When to use: Use when selecting or describing an annual Code of Federal Regulations volume. The completed dates apply the publisher's stated revision cycle to a 2024 snapshot label.

Scope: Annual CFR publication cycle, illustrated with selected 2024 title-year combinations. These are revision-cutoff facts, not assertions that a provision stayed unchanged afterward. Individual volume availability and text must still be checked.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Selected annual snapshot	Revision cutoff represented	Record this version fact	Do not substitute
Title 1, 2024 annual CFR	January 1, 2024	2024 edition, revised as of January 1	October 8, 2026, merely because that is the research date.
Title 5, 2024 annual CFR	January 1, 2024	Title 5 belongs to the titles 1–16 cycle	A January publication date guessed from a downloaded filename.
Title 17, 2024 annual CFR	April 1, 2024	Title 17 begins the titles 17–27 cycle	January 1, a cutoff used by a different title group.
Title 21, 2024 annual CFR	April 1, 2024	Retain April 1 with the annual edition in the source record	An eCFR current-through date from a different representation.
Title 28, 2024 annual CFR	July 1, 2024	Title 28 begins the titles 28–41 cycle	June 24, 2024, an effective date appearing in a particular rule.
Title 29, 2024 annual CFR	July 1, 2024	Preserve July 1 even when the file was acquired later	A source website's footer year.
Title 37, 2024 annual CFR	July 1, 2024	Use the annual snapshot's cutoff for version identification	A patent application's filing date.
Title 40, 2024 annual CFR	July 1, 2024	Record the title and individual volume as well as the cutoff	A volume number used as though it were a section number.
Title 44, 2024 annual CFR	October 1, 2024	Title 44 belongs to the titles 42–50 cycle	July 1, the cutoff for the preceding title group.
Title 50, 2024 annual CFR	October 1, 2024	The same calendar year can contain four different revision cutoffs	December 31, which the annual cycle does not imply.

A regulation may change after an annual volume's revision cutoff. For an event-specific question, follow the publication and effective-date trail rather than treating the edition year as a full-year guarantee.

The title-year examples teach the revision schedule; they are not a claim that every volume file was downloaded or that every section within a title was reviewed.

Primary sources and their scope: GPO Code of Federal Regulations guide.

AT09. Federal Register fields that answer different questions

When to use: Use when a rulemaking page mixes a document number, docket, RIN, publication date, effective date, compliance date, explanation and amendatory text. Keep them as separate fields before writing the citation.

Scope: DOJ's April 24, 2024 final rule and April 20, 2026 interim final rule, read as historical publication records. Later changes or litigation are outside this table. Original 2024 compliance dates must not be presented as current deadlines.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Field or document	Completed fact	What it identifies	Construction consequence
2024 publication coordinate	89 Fed. Reg. 31320 (Apr. 24, 2024)	Volume, first printed page and publication date	These fields find the published document.
2024 issuing component	Civil Rights Division, Department of Justice	Agency attribution printed with the document	Do not attribute the rule to GovInfo merely because GovInfo hosts the PDF.
2024 action label	Final rule	Document type in the published action field	Do not relabel it a proposed rule because it discusses earlier comments.
2024 CFR destination	28 C.F.R. part 35	Codification destination named in the document	Part 35 is not Federal Register page 35.
2024 regulatory identifier	RIN 1190-AA79	Regulatory Information Number	Retain in research metadata; do not use as a page pinpoint.
2024 rule effectiveness	June 24, 2024	Effective date stated on the first page	Keep distinct from the April 24 publication date.
Original 2024 larger-entity compliance date	April 24, 2026, as stated in the 2024 document	A historical compliance date for the specified category	Label it historical because the 2026 document amends compliance dates.
2026 publication coordinate	91 Fed. Reg. 20902 (Apr. 20, 2026)	Volume, beginning printed page and date	Page 20902 also contains adjacent Treasury material; locate the DOJ heading.
2026 action label	Interim final rule and request for comments	The published DOJ document type	An invitation for comments does not by itself make this a proposed rule.
2026 effective date	April 20, 2026	Effective date stated in that document	Do not derive effectiveness from when the PDF was downloaded.
2026 explanatory passage	Printed 20908	Agency explanation within the 2026 document	Use the explanatory pinpoint for the agency's stated reason, not as the location of every amendment.
2026 amendatory text	Printed 20912; amendments to § 35.200(b)(1)–(2)	Text changing April 24, 2026 to April 26, 2027, and April 26, 2027 to April 26, 2028	Preserve both category-specific substitutions; do not compress them into one undifferentiated deadline.

A completed source citation can be historically accurate while a sentence about present duties is wrong. This table demonstrates field separation, not an October 2026 compliance opinion.

When a multi-column PDF begins midway down a printed page, confirm the agency heading before attributing the page's first extracted lines to the document you intend to cite.

Primary sources and their scope: DOJ 2024 web-accessibility final rule; DOJ 2026 compliance-date interim final rule; GPO Federal Register guide.

AT10. Congressional measure types: the prefix is part of the identity

When to use: Use when transcribing a measure from a search result or constructing a research query. Preserve chamber and measure type before adding a number, Congress and version.

Scope: The eight federal measure types identified in GPO's bill collection guide. This table identifies document types; it does not state enactment requirements, legal force, or procedural consequences for a particular measure.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Displayed prefix	Completed type identity	Metadata token used by the collection	Practical distinction
H.R.	House bill	hr	Keep H.R. rather than changing it to H. Res.; they are different measure types.
S.	Senate bill	s	A Senate bill number can coincide with a House bill number without identifying the same measure.
H.J. Res.	House joint resolution	hjres	Preserve Joint; deleting it changes the type.
S.J. Res.	Senate joint resolution	sjres	Preserve both Senate and joint-resolution identity.
H. Con. Res.	House concurrent resolution	hconres	Concurrent is a type field, not a committee name.
S. Con. Res.	Senate concurrent resolution	sconres	The prefix distinguishes it from S.J. Res. with the same number.
H. Res.	House simple resolution	hres	Do not insert a Joint label merely because the subject concerns another chamber.
S. Res.	Senate simple resolution	sres	Retain the Congress in a full record because numbers recur across Congresses.

H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, and the publication token hr1319 describe the same measure identity at different display levels. The version suffix supplies an additional field, not a replacement for the Congress.

A collection token is useful for retrieval. Citation Code does not require readers to print a repository's entire package ID in every conventional citation.

Primary sources and their scope: GPO Congressional Bills guide.

AT11. Federal bill-version codes: carry the stage with the text

When to use: Use when multiple files share a bill number but contain different wording. This is a recognition table for selected GPO version codes; it is not a claim that every listed stage occurred for a particular bill.

Scope: Selected publisher-defined version codes. The completed stage labels are source metadata facts. The retention decisions are Citation Code practices, subordinate to a receiving authority's form.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Version token	Stage identity	What to retain in a source record	Completed decision
IH	Introduced in House	House introduction stage and the document's own date	A comparison using IH must not silently label its text as enacted.
IS	Introduced in Senate	Senate introduction stage and the document's own date	Keep IS distinct from IH even when two companion bills have similar titles.
RH	Reported in House	House reported stage; any accompanying report identity separately	A reported bill and a committee report are separate documents.
RS	Reported in Senate	Senate reported stage and the actual text	Do not replace it with a later floor version without revising the analysis.
EH	Engrossed in House	House-passed version	H.R. 1319's actual EH file is distinct from its enrolled file.
ES	Engrossed in Senate	Senate-passed version	The chamber is part of the version description.
EAH	Engrossed amendment in House	House amendment text and the underlying measure	An amendment document may instruct changes rather than reproduce a clean consolidated bill.
EAS	Engrossed amendment in Senate	Senate amendment text and the underlying measure	H.R. 1319's actual EAS file is not the EH text under another filename.
ENR	Enrolled	Enrolled measure and its publication identity	H.R. 1319 ENR is still a bill-publication object, distinct from Pub. L. No. 117-2.
RDS	Received in Senate	Senate receipt stage	Receipt is a different recorded stage from passage.
RFH	Referred in House	House referral stage	A referral label does not identify the receiving committee unless the document supplies it.
RFS	Referred in Senate	Senate referral stage	Preserve the text's stage rather than guessing from the latest bill-status display.

Only the H.R. 1319 EH, EAS and ENR files were used as actual stage examples in this atlas. The other rows identify codes from the publisher's guide and do not fabricate a publication history.

For a quotation, compare the exact selected version. A bill-status timeline can confirm that an event occurred without supplying the wording used in every version.

Primary sources and their scope: GPO Congressional Bills guide; H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, engrossed House version; H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, engrossed Senate amendment; H.R. 1319, 117th Congress, enrolled version.

AT12. Attribute legislative material to the component that actually speaks

When to use: Use after finding a report, hearing or Record extract. Locate the speaker or component before converting a sentence into a statement about what Congress found or intended.

Scope: Every completed packet and reference in this table is an ORIGINAL FICTIONAL TRAINING OBJECT. The official GPO guides support only the distinctions between publication types and components. TRAIN references are not citations to real congressional records.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Stipulated TRAIN packet fact	Completed reference fragment	What the source can be described as	Claim to revise
TRAIN House Committee Report HR-12, majority discussion on printed 8, dated May 4, 2025	TRAIN House Committee Report HR-12, at 8 (May 4, 2025)	The committee report's majority discussion	Congress conclusively determined the fact.
The same packet places minority views on printed 19	TRAIN House Committee Report HR-12, at 19 (minority views)	The identified minority views	The report unanimously states the proposition.
TRAIN Hearing HE-12, May 6, 2025, witness Lila Arden's oral answer on printed 42	Lila Arden testimony, TRAIN Hearing HE-12, at 42 (May 6, 2025)	A named witness's testimony	The committee found what the witness said.
Arden's prepared statement begins on printed 51; passage on 53	Lila Arden prepared statement, TRAIN Hearing HE-12, at 53	The witness's submitted prepared statement	The transcript shows this sentence was spoken at the hearing.
A post-hearing answer from Arden is printed on 71 and dated May 13, 2025	Lila Arden supplemental answer, TRAIN Hearing HE-12, at 71 (May 13, 2025)	A later written answer reproduced in the hearing publication	The witness gave this answer during the May 6 session.
TRAIN report contains a TRAIN Transit Office letter at appendix B, printed 88, dated April 30, 2025	TRAIN Transit Office letter, April 30, 2025, reproduced in TRAIN Report HR-12, app. B, at 88	An agency letter reproduced by the report	The report's authors wrote the letter.
TRAIN floor extract FE-12 identifies Senator Vale, printed S24, June 2, 2025	Senator Vale statement, TRAIN Floor Extract FE-12, at S24 (June 2, 2025)	One identified speaker's statement	The Senate adopted every statement on the page.
TRAIN House extract FE-13 identifies Representative Neri, printed H24, same date	Representative Neri statement, TRAIN Floor Extract FE-13, at H24 (June 2, 2025)	A different chamber's extract	Page 24 alone distinguishes the two records.
TRAIN extension extract EX-12, June 2, 2025, contains a submitted statement at E9	TRAIN Extension Extract EX-12, at E9 (June 2, 2025)	Material printed in an extension section	The page itself proves the statement was delivered orally.
TRAIN digest DG-12, June 2, 2025, summarizes activity at D3; underlying vote extract is FE-14, H31, from the same date	TRAIN Digest DG-12, at D3; TRAIN Floor Extract FE-14, at H31 (June 2, 2025)	A summary and a separate underlying record	The digest substitutes for the vote text when the precise recorded wording matters.

The fictional prefixes S, H, E and D deliberately exercise the source's coordinate types. They are not assertions that a real Congressional Record issue contains these training statements.

For a real hearing, its session date and later publication date can differ. Preserve both when the difference explains how the material entered the record.

Primary sources and their scope: GPO Congressional Reports guide; GPO Congressional Hearings guide; GPO Congressional Record guide.

AT13. Record locators: name the object and the coordinate together

When to use: Use when litigation materials contain several numbering systems. Each row supplies the facts needed to produce its reference fragment. A fragment becomes filing-ready only after the receiving record convention and the complete case identity are supplied.

Scope: All rows are ORIGINAL FICTIONAL TRAINING OBJECTS in TRAIN Case R-13. They demonstrate Citation Code record descriptions. FRAP 28(e) and Civil Rule 56(c) provide contextual reasons to identify specific record material; they do not prescribe these exact labels.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Stipulated record facts	Completed locator fragment	Coordinate being used	Meaning preserved
Complaint filed April 2, 2026; docket entry 4; allegation in numbered paragraph 17	Complaint ¶ 17, TRAIN Case R-13, docket entry 4 (Apr. 2, 2026)	Source-assigned paragraph	Identifies an allegation; it does not convert that allegation into evidence.
Answer filed April 22, 2026; entry 9; response to paragraph 17	Answer ¶ 17, TRAIN Case R-13, docket entry 9 (Apr. 22, 2026)	Answer paragraph 17	The matching number refers to a different document from Complaint ¶ 17.
Neri declaration dated May 3, 2026; entry 22-1; statement in paragraph 6	Neri declaration ¶ 6, docket entry 22-1 (May 3, 2026)	Declaration paragraph	The attachment number is separate from paragraph 6.
Motion memorandum filed May 4, 2026; entry 22; passage at printed 12	Motion memorandum 12, docket entry 22 (May 4, 2026)	Document's printed page	A brief's assertion retains its character as advocacy.
Exhibit C to the Neri declaration; stamped TRAIN-NERI-000047	Neri declaration, Ex. C, TRAIN-NERI-000047	Exhibit label and complete production stamp	Leading zeros belong to the identifier and remain intact.
Exhibit C, page stamped TRAIN-NERI-000047, screenshot panel B	Neri declaration, Ex. C, TRAIN-NERI-000047, panel B	Stamp plus within-page panel	Panel B narrows the passage without replacing the document identity.
Hearing transcript dated May 8, 2026; printed 76, lines 3–11	Hearing transcript 76:3–11 (May 8, 2026)	Transcript page and line numbers	The colon separates page from line rather than denoting a time.
Audio hearing file AH-13, May 8, 2026; event at elapsed 00:18:42–00:19:03	TRAIN Audio AH-13, 00:18:42–00:19:03 (May 8, 2026)	Elapsed media position	The reference does not claim this position is a certified transcript page.
Order entered May 12, 2026; docket entry 31; direction in paragraph 4	Order ¶ 4, docket entry 31 (May 12, 2026)	Order's own numbered paragraph	An entry number identifies the filing, not the passage.
Email from Inez Vale to Omar Pell, exhibit E; sent March 9, 2026 at 14:08 UTC; stamp TRAIN-MAIL-0081	Email from Inez Vale to Omar Pell, Mar. 9, 2026, 14:08 UTC, Ex. E, TRAIN-MAIL-0081	Message identity plus exhibit stamp	The citation identifies the sent message rather than a later forwarding wrapper.
TRAIN Intake Workbook, spreadsheet exhibit F; version 2; sheet Intake; cell D47	TRAIN Intake Workbook, version 2, sheet Intake, cell D47, Ex. F	Workbook version, sheet and cell	D47 on another sheet or version is not the same coordinate.
Native chat export CE-13; message ID m0048; timestamp June 1, 2026 09:12 UTC	TRAIN Chat Export CE-13, message m0048 (June 1, 2026, 09:12 UTC)	Export/message identifier	An author-assigned PDF page is not silently treated as the native message ID.

In a filed appellate brief, material reproduced in the appendix may require the appendix coordinate rather than this internal working reference. Use the receiving rule and the final crosswalk.

A locator can accurately identify an allegation, disputed exhibit, or unsworn statement. Its specificity does not settle admissibility or evidentiary weight.

Primary sources and their scope: FRAP 28 on the Fourth Circuit official rules site; Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, official 2025 compilation.

AT14. Transcript and errata coordinates: preserve the original exchange

When to use: Use when a transcript, condensed copy, errata sheet and recording all refer to the same examination. Keep the original coordinate stable while explaining the version or speaker actually used.

Scope: ORIGINAL FICTIONAL TRAINING OBJECTS. Mira Sol's deposition was taken June 4, 2026 in TRAIN Case D-14. Every page/line, erratum and media time below is stipulated. Rule 30(e)–(f) is context for reviewing changes; this table does not decide whether a particular change is valid or admissible.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Stipulated fact	Completed locator fragment	What remains distinct	Correction to make
Certified transcript page 41, lines 7–12	Sol deposition 41:7–12 (June 4, 2026)	Original transcript page and line	Do not cite the condensed PDF's viewer page 12 as transcript page 12.
Question begins at 41:7; answer continues through 42:3	Sol deposition 41:7–42:3 (June 4, 2026)	Both full page/line endpoints	41:7–3 is ambiguous and drops the second page.
Answer at 42:8–11 depends on question at 42:5–7	Sol deposition 42:5–11 (June 4, 2026)	The answer's qualifying question	Expand the range when quoting the answer alone would conceal its scope.
Attorney objection appears at 43:4–6; witness answer at 43:7–10	Sol deposition 43:7–10; see also 43:4–6 (June 4, 2026)	Counsel's speech and witness's speech	Attribute the objection to counsel rather than placing it in the witness's quotation.
Signed errata sheet dated June 19, 2026, item 2, addresses 41:10	Sol deposition 41:10; Sol errata item 2 (June 19, 2026)	Original answer and separate change record	Do not silently replace the transcript text with the erratum.
Errata item 2 replaces Tuesday with Thursday and gives a calendar-review reason	Sol errata item 2 (June 19, 2026) (changing the day stated at 41:10)	Changed wording and stated reason	A corrected day is not proof of every surrounding event.
Errata item 3 withdraws a change to 44:2	Sol errata item 3 (June 19, 2026); Sol deposition 44:2	The withdrawal and original passage	Do not retain a superseded proposed correction in the final quotation.
Officer's certificate dated June 4, 2026 on unnumbered terminal leaf, identified in packet as certificate C-1	Sol deposition, officer's certificate C-1 (June 4, 2026)	Certification component	Do not assign it a fictitious transcript page 99.
Recording file SOL-A, elapsed 01:06:12–01:06:29, corresponds to 41:7–12	TRAIN Recording SOL-A, 01:06:12–01:06:29; Sol deposition 41:7–12	Time coordinate and transcript coordinate	A time-to-line crosswalk is additional packet evidence, not a mathematical page conversion.
A revised certified transcript dated June 24, 2026 renumbers the passage to 42:1–6	Sol revised deposition 42:1–6 (certified June 24, 2026; examination June 4, 2026)	Examination date and revised certification/version date	Update citations after checking the new page map rather than changing only the date.

For an errata comparison, preserve the certified original, signed change list, stated reasons and relevant certificate. Rule 30's conditions and the treatment of substantive changes require separate legal review.

A screen recording of a transcript viewer is not itself a new official page-numbering system.

Primary sources and their scope: Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, official 2025 compilation.

AT15. A completed record-to-appendix crosswalk

When to use: Use after assembly changes move material. This table demonstrates exact remapping and records omitted items rather than guessing a nearby appendix page.

Scope: ORIGINAL FICTIONAL TRAINING PACKET A-15. The first column identifies source coordinates; the old and final columns are stipulated assembly maps. Citation Code uses App. as a defined training label. The receiving court's required label and record rules control.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Source coordinate	Superseded draft appendix	Final assembled appendix	Citation/release action
Complaint ¶ 17, printed 6	Draft App. 12	App. 18	Replace 12 with 18; retain the complaint identity in the source crosswalk.
Answer ¶ 17, printed 4	Draft App. 24	App. 31	Do not borrow the complaint's new page because paragraph numbers coincide.
Neri declaration ¶ 6, printed 2	Draft App. 41	App. 52	Update the declaration reference to App. 52 after opening that final page.
Exhibit C, stamp TRAIN-NERI-000047	Draft App. 48	App. 61	Confirm the full stamp at 61; insertion of a cover sheet changed the offset.
Sol deposition 41:7–12	Draft App. 75	App. 92	If the receiving form permits line detail, use App. 92 (Sol deposition 41:7–12).
Sol deposition 41:20–42:3	Draft App. 75–76	App. 92–93	Preserve both appendix pages and the original page/line span in the mapping record.
Sol errata item 2	Draft App. 80	App. 98	Move the errata reference separately from the transcript reference.
Order ¶ 4, printed 3	Draft App. 101	App. 126	Regenerate every short reference that depends on the order's former page.
Email exhibit E, TRAIN-MAIL-0081	Draft App. 110	Not reproduced in final appendix	Flag as absent; apply the receiving rule's route for unreproduced record material.
Audio SOL-A, elapsed 01:06:12–01:06:29	Draft attachment note at 121	Final attachment index at App. 140; audio remains separate	Cite the recording through the authorized record route; the index page alone is not the recording.

The final mapping is not created by applying one global offset. Different insertions and omissions changed the documents by different amounts.

FRAP 28(e) distinguishes material in the appendix from specified original-record or unreproduced material and addresses contested evidence. This training map does not replace those alternatives with a universal App. format.

Primary sources and their scope: FRAP 28 on the Fourth Circuit official rules site.

AT16. Books and articles: choose the component's actual locator

When to use: Use when a publication has an editor, chapter author, article number, separately numbered supplement, preprint or rolling update. The completed references preserve the distinction that makes the cited passage retrievable.

Scope: All named works and identifiers in this table are ORIGINAL FICTIONAL TRAINING OBJECTS. Crossref guidance supports only the treatment of a genuine assigned DOI as a persistent link; no registered DOI is invented. Titles follow Citation Code's italic-title default.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

A publication's exact title may differ from a platform's card title. Use the consulted item's title and preserve a separately named correction, supplement or version.

The mixed 4-22 page label illustrates why a global hyphen-to-range replacement is unsafe.

Primary sources and their scope: Crossref DOI display guidelines.

AT17. Web and archive objects: locate the representation you actually used

When to use: Use when the live page has changed, a social post was edited, a recording has no printed pages, or an archive item is available as a sequence of images.

Scope: ORIGINAL FICTIONAL TRAINING OBJECTS. URLs under example.com identify documentation examples, not asserted live publications. The National Archives guide supplies repository context, not evidence that these training items exist.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Where a source lacks a title, label an authored description as a description instead of inventing a publication title.

A capture records what was preserved. Authenticity, completeness and the legal significance of a historical representation require separate assessment.

AT18. A date register that separates publication, revision and legal events

When to use: Use before reducing several source dates to a single parenthetical year. Record the event first, then decide which date the reader needs for the stated proposition.

Scope: ORIGINAL FICTIONAL TRAINING PACKET V-18. All dates and effects are stipulated for this exercise; they are not real statutory deadlines or agency rules. Official publication guides support the distinction between date fields, not the fictional legal effects.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Use a null or an explicit month-only field when a day is unknown. January 1 is not a neutral stand-in for an unknown date.

If a date controls the legal analysis, prove the event and its consequences from the relevant source. The citation's date label alone does not calculate a filing period or establish retroactivity.

Primary sources and their scope: GPO United States Code guide; GPO Code of Federal Regulations guide; GPO Federal Register guide; GPO Congressional Hearings guide.

AT19. Selected geographic codes: recognize postal fields without turning them into court names

When to use: Use when importing a government address, institution record or spreadsheet containing a two-letter location field. Expand that field before deciding whether a court or legal-publication abbreviation is appropriate.

Scope: Selected USPS two-letter postal mappings, verified October 8, 2026. These are postal identifiers, not a complete legal-geography table or a prescription for citation parentheticals. Citation Code normally retains full geographic names unless an established source or receiving rule requires another form.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Geographic name	USPS postal code	Distinction to preserve	Editorial use
Alabama	AL	Different from Alaska's AK	Expand AL to Alabama in the source register before identifying a court.
Alaska	AK	Different from Alabama's AL	The final letter is K, not the state's last letter.
Arizona	AZ	Different from Arkansas's AR	Preserve the Z when importing an address field.
Arkansas	AR	Different from Arizona's AZ	Do not normalize both states to a guessed Ariz./Ark. field.
California	CA	A United States postal field here, not an unqualified country code	Identify the coding system before expanding CA.
Colorado	CO	A location field here, not company as a word abbreviation	Do not apply a case-name company abbreviation to a postal value.
District of Columbia	DC	A geographic identifier rather than the D.C. Circuit court name	Add the institution's actual name to identify a tribunal.
Georgia	GA	The United States postal designation, not a country-name determination	Preserve the field's United States address context.
Guam	GU	Its own postal identifier	A postal code does not by itself choose a court or appellate route.
Maine	ME	Different from Maryland's MD and Massachusetts's MA	Expand the two-letter value exactly.
Maryland	MD	Different from a professional degree abbreviation in a person's name	Interpret the value through its field and document context.
Massachusetts	MA	Different from Maine's ME	Do not infer a court abbreviation from the postal code alone.
Michigan	MI	Different from Minnesota's MN and Mississippi's MS	Keep the complete state name in identity metadata.
Minnesota	MN	Different from Michigan's MI	Transposition can change the jurisdiction rather than merely its spelling.
Mississippi	MS	Different from Missouri's MO	Never use the first two printed letters of the full name as a guessing rule.
Missouri	MO	Different from Montana's MT	A recognized postal mapping is preferable to guessed expansion.
Montana	MT	Different from Missouri's MO	The code is a structured field, not a citation-style choice.
Nebraska	NE	The same letters can signify northeast in a directional field	Keep state and direction fields separate.
Northern Mariana Islands	MP	The code does not reproduce the name's initial letters	Preserve MP when the supplied data schema is USPS postal coding.
Puerto Rico	PR	Its own postal identifier	Do not use the location field to infer federal versus Commonwealth court identity.
Washington	WA	Distinct from District of Columbia DC	Washington without institutional context can be ambiguous.
West Virginia	WV	Distinct from Virginia VA	Do not drop West during name compression.

These rows answer a narrow decoding problem. A postal list does not establish political status, court jurisdiction or a legal citation's required abbreviation.

When a source uses a different code system, such as a publisher's court code, its own documented mapping controls. Never apply this postal mapping merely because the field has two letters.

Primary sources and their scope: USPS Publication 28, Appendix B.

AT20. Citation Code month forms and machine-date components

When to use: Use for compact citation dates after the source's month, day, year and event have been identified. Full month names remain the default in ordinary prose.

Scope: Original Citation Code house choices matching section 47.5. The twelve dates are fictional formatting demonstrations, not assertions that a document or legal event occurred. GPO's manual is publication-design context only and does not govern these choices.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Full month	Compact Citation Code form	Month component	Completed formatting example
January	Jan.	01	Jan. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-01-08
February	Feb.	02	Feb. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-02-08
March	Mar.	03	Mar. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-03-08
April	Apr.	04	Apr. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-04-08
May	May	05	May 8, 2026; machine date 2026-05-08
June	June	06	June 8, 2026; machine date 2026-06-08
July	July	07	July 8, 2026; machine date 2026-07-08
August	Aug.	08	Aug. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-08-08
September	Sept.	09	Sept. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-09-08
October	Oct.	10	Oct. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-10-08
November	Nov.	11	Nov. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-11-08
December	Dec.	12	Dec. 8, 2026; machine date 2026-12-08

Do not append a period to May, June or July under this house convention. A receiving rule may use a different abbreviation, including a different treatment of September.

The machine date is a storage example. A month-only source dated May 2026 remains month-only; the table does not authorize inventing a day.

Primary sources and their scope: GPO Style Manual, 2016 edition.

AT21. Roles, publication components and subdivisions: a compact house vocabulary

When to use: Use when a short label can save space without erasing who wrote the material or which component contains the passage. The example fragments contain explicitly fictional TRAIN materials except the general role labels.

Scope: Original Citation Code display choices, with the official Iqbal PDF supplying real examples of separate judicial writings and GPO/NY manuals supplying publication context. This table is not a universal abbreviation mandate. All TRAIN names, works and coordinates are fictional.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Role or coordinate	Citation Code display	Completed training fragment	Retain this distinction
One editor	ed.	TRAIN Collected Archive Rules 74 (Iris Dell ed., 2026)	The editor is not automatically the author of a signed chapter.
Multiple editors	eds.	TRAIN Collected Archive Essays 74 (Iris Dell & Omar Pell eds., 2026)	Preserve the plural editorial role.
Translator	trans.	TRAIN Register Study 18 (Mira Sol trans., 2026)	A translated passage may differ from the original-language text.
Edition	ed. after the edition number	TRAIN Register Study 18 (3d ed. 2026)	ed. after 3d means edition; after a person's name it can identify editor.
Volume within a multivolume work	vol.	TRAIN Archive Handbook, vol. 2, § 7.4 (2026)	Volume 2 is not the second edition.
Publication issue	no.	TRAIN Intake Journal, vol. 4, no. 3, at 7 (2026)	Issue 3 is not article 3.
Chapter	ch.	TRAIN Archive Handbook, ch. 7 (2026)	A chapter coordinate does not supply the chapter's author.
Part	pt.	TRAIN Archive Handbook, pt. II (2026)	Preserve the source's Roman numeral.
Appendix	app.	TRAIN Archive Handbook, app. B, at B-4 (2026)	The appendix label and its composite page are separate fields.
Supplement	supplement, spelled out where collision is possible	TRAIN Archive Handbook, supplement at S-14 (2026)	A supplement is a distinct component, not simply a later acquisition.
Release	release	TRAIN Archive Practice § 4.7 (release 18, May 2026)	Release number and edition number may follow different sequences.
Section	§	TRAIN Procedure § 4.2	A decimal in the source section number is not a page/line separator.
Several sections	§§	TRAIN Procedure §§ 4.2–4.4	The plural symbol describes multiple sections.
Paragraph	¶	TRAIN Declaration ¶ 9	A numbered paragraph is not necessarily a statutory section.
Several paragraphs	¶¶	TRAIN Declaration ¶¶ 9–11	Preserve full endpoints and the source's paragraph numbering.
Footnote	n.	TRAIN Register Study 18 n.3 (2026)	Note 3 must be tied to the correct page or other source locator.
Table	tbl.	TRAIN Register Study tbl. 4 (2026)	A table number does not identify a particular cell when the argument needs one.
Figure	fig.	TRAIN Register Study fig. 2, panel B (2026)	Retain the panel when different panels support different statements.
Dissenting judicial writing	dissenting, spelled out	TRAIN Opinion O21, at 9 (Vale, J., dissenting)	A dissent qualifier reports the speaker's position; it is not optional when attribution depends on it.
Concurring judicial writing	concurring, spelled out	TRAIN Opinion O21, at 7 (Neri, J., concurring)	A concurrence should not be labeled the court's majority reasoning.
Chief judicial role	preserve the source's role; C.J. only where clear	TRAIN Opinion O21, at 2 (Dell, C.J.)	Do not infer the office from surname or seniority.
Acting official	retain Acting in the name/role when material	Acting Director Mira Sol, TRAIN Direction D21 (June 8, 2026)	Dropping Acting can misdescribe the capacity identified by the source.

A defined document label can remain roman while a substantive publication title is italicized. These examples follow the title rule in section 46.1.

No entry authorizes inventing a chapter, paragraph, footnote, issue or institutional title. Use the label that the actual source supplies before applying a house abbreviation.

Primary sources and their scope: Ashcroft v. Iqbal, official U.S. Reports PDF; GPO Style Manual, 2016 edition; New York Law Reports Style Manual, 2022 with 2024 electronic update.

AT22. Selected reporter and opinion identifiers: read the token before normalizing it

When to use: Use when a citation import has removed punctuation, merged digits, or confused a publication with a court. This table recognizes selected series; it does not assign a fabricated reporter citation to any training case.

Scope: Selected publication identities checked against official Supreme Court materials and the New York Law Reporting Bureau. NY-style token spellings are explicitly observed forms, not a nationwide display mandate. Series recognition does not establish precedential value.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Observed token or form	Publication or identifier	Identity field to retain	Practical parsing decision
U.S.; US in NY-style display	United States Reports	Reporter identity distinct from volume and first page	556 U.S. 662 uses 556 as volume and 662 as opening page.
1 Cranch; paired with 5 U.S. in Marbury	Nominative reporter volume within early United States Reports	Both the nominative and U.S. volume identities when the form needs them	Do not create two case records merely from the parallel volume naming.
F3d in the NY reporting manual	Federal Reporter, Third Series	Third-series marker	Do not parse 3d as part of the first page.
F4th in the NY reporting manual	Federal Reporter, Fourth Series	Fourth-series marker	A conversion to F3d would change publication identity.
F Supp 3d in the NY reporting manual	Federal Supplement, Third Series	Supplement and third-series fields	Removing Supp turns the token into a different reporter family.
Fed Appx in the NY reporting manual	Federal Appendix	Complete series identity	Appx here is part of a reporter name, not the brief's appendix.
NY	New York Reports, first series	Reporter family and absence of a later-series suffix	Do not infer a postal field solely from the letters NY.
NY2d	New York Reports, Second Series	Second-series marker	Keep 2d attached to the reporter token rather than the volume.
NY3d	New York Reports, Third Series	Third-series marker	Do not expand it as a New York Third Department court identifier.
App Div	Appellate Division Reports, first series	Reporter series	App Div in a reporter field does different work from a court-name field.
AD2d	Appellate Division Reports, Second Series	Series 2d	AD2d does not mean Appellate Division, Second Department.
AD3d	Appellate Division Reports, Third Series	Series 3d	AD3d does not identify the Third Department.
Misc	Miscellaneous Reports, first series	Complete series identity	Misc is not permission to omit the court or source identity.
Misc 2d	Miscellaneous Reports, Second Series	Second-series marker and spacing appropriate to the chosen system	Keep it distinct from Misc 3d even if volume/page numbers coincide.
Misc 3d	Miscellaneous Reports, Third Series	Third-series marker	The final digit identifies the reporter series, not a judicial department.
NY Slip Op	New York Slip Opinion Service identifier	Year, complete assigned decision identifier and any printed status suffix	An electronic identifier is not automatically a volume/page reporter citation.

Recognition and presentation are different operations. Preserve a normalized internal identity, then render punctuation and spacing required by the receiving system.

A source's unofficial or nonprecedential label requires its own legal/status analysis. This table supplies no blanket permission to cite a decision merely because a reporter token was recognized.

Primary sources and their scope: Supreme Court: U.S. Reports publication guide; Ashcroft v. Iqbal, official U.S. Reports PDF; Marbury v. Madison, official U.S. Reports PDF; New York Law Reports Style Manual, 2022 with 2024 electronic update; New York Law Reporting Bureau publications.

AT23. Numbers, symbols and ranges: completed transformations that preserve meaning

When to use: Use in a final citation pass where automatic formatting is likely to change a coordinate. First identify whether the characters are a quantity, a range, a source-assigned label or a machine identifier.

Scope: Original Citation Code house constructions consistent with chapter 47. All TRAIN coordinates are fictional. Publisher manuals are contextual references rather than authority imposing these house choices.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Stipulated source or draft	Citation Code output	Meaning retained	Transformation to reject
TRAIN printed passage begins at 503 and ends at 504	503–504	Full inclusive page endpoints	503–04 under this house default.
TRAIN passage spans printed 129 through 131	129–131	Hundreds digit remains visible	129–31 when the receiver has not required shortened endpoints.
TRAIN relevant pages are 17 and 23, with no reliance on intervening pages	17, 23	Two discrete locations	17–23, which falsely asserts a continuous cited range.
TRAIN paragraph range begins at 8 and ends at 11	¶¶ 8–11	Multiple numbered paragraphs	¶ 8-11 as though it were one source-assigned label.
TRAIN section coordinates are 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4	§§ 4.2–4.4	Full decimal section endpoints	§§ 4.2–4, which can change the endpoint.
TRAIN section 7 has nested statutory-style labels (a)(3)(B) and (a)(3)(C)	§ 7(a)(3)(B)–(C)	Shared hierarchy with explicit final sibling endpoints	§ 7(a)(3)(B)(C), which makes C appear nested within B.
TRAIN passage includes § 7(a) and § 8(c), not every intervening provision	§§ 7(a), 8(c)	Two distinct provision selections	§§ 7(a)–8(c), which overstates the range.
TRAIN transcript lines 5 through 12 on page 41	41:5–12	Page 41; lines 5–12	41.5–12 or 41:05:12, which resembles another coordinate system.
TRAIN transcript starts 41:20 and ends 42:3	41:20–42:3	Full cross-page endpoints	41:20–3, which loses the second page.
TRAIN looseleaf printed page is literally 4-22	4-22	Source-assigned composite page label	4–22, which turns the label into a range.
TRAIN production stamp is A000047	A000047	Prefix and leading zeros	A47, which may identify another item or no item.
TRAIN front-matter page is xii	xii	Roman pagination	12, which may identify an Arabic-numbered body page.
TRAIN media segment is elapsed 1 hour, 2 minutes, 8 seconds through 1 hour, 2 minutes, 31 seconds	01:02:08–01:02:31	Hours, minutes and seconds at both endpoints	1:2–31, which obscures units and endpoints.
TRAIN measured interval is eleven calendar days	11 calendar days	A measured quantity in numerals under the house default	Treating the spelling eleven as part of a source-assigned identifier.

Full range endpoints do not mean repeating every shared statutory hierarchy component. The output must preserve the endpoint's level and make the range unambiguous.

The choice of en dash for a range does not authorize changing hyphens inside docket numbers, production stamps, rule numbers, page labels or exact quotations.

Primary sources and their scope: GPO Style Manual, 2016 edition; FRAP 28 on the Fourth Circuit official rules site.

AT24. Treaties, international institutions and arbitral texts: identify the right object

When to use: Use when a treaty text, depositary status page, institution's rule set, resolution and judgment appear in the same research trail. The completed identities prevent an acronym or series number from standing in for the source actually used.

Scope: Selected primary institutional records inspected October 8, 2026. Historical treaty/judgment identifiers and rule-set versions only. No exhaustive international abbreviation table, treaty-party certification, arbitration-jurisdiction opinion or enforceability conclusion is supplied.

Research cutoff: October 8, 2026. Specific historical editions and events are identified in the rows.

Object or field	Completed identity	Coordinate or version to preserve	Do not infer
Vienna treaty text	Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, 1155 U.N.T.S. 331	Treaty-series volume 1155 and beginning page 331	The volume/page pair alone does not establish a particular state's party status.
Vienna convention's signature-opening date	May 23, 1969	The depositary describes adoption on May 22 and opening for signature on May 23	Do not combine those different events into one unlabeled adoption date.
Vienna convention's general entry into force	January 27, 1980	The date stated in the treaty's depositary record	General entry into force is not automatically the entry-into-force date for every later party.
Vienna registration identifier	Registration No. 18232	A registration number separate from 1155 U.N.T.S. 331	18232 is not the UNTS volume or a treaty article.
New York treaty text	Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, 330 U.N.T.S. 3	Treaty-series volume 330 and beginning page 3	The popular name New York Convention does not identify a domestic New York statute.
New York convention's date and general entry into force	June 10, 1958; entry into force June 7, 1959	Two labeled historical events	Do not cite 1959 as though it were the treaty's signature-opening year.
New York registration identifier	Registration No. 4739	Registration identity distinct from series volume/page	A registration number does not replace the title in a reader-facing source identification.
Depositary participant entries	Signature, ratification, accession or succession fields	The selected state, relevant action, date and any associated declarations/reservations	A signature column must not be silently relabeled ratification.
UNCITRAL institution name	United Nations Commission on International Trade Law	Full institution name before defining UNCITRAL	The acronym alone does not identify a particular rule text or arbitral proceeding.
2010 arbitration-rule publication	UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, as revised in 2010	The 2010 version label	A later publication link is not proof the later text governed a particular arbitration.
2021 arbitration-rule publication	UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules with the 2021 expedited-rules addition	Preserve the version and the particular rules component	Do not treat the presence of expedited rules in the publication as consent to their use.
General Assembly document	A/RES/65/22	Resolution identity associated with the 2010 revised Arbitration Rules	The resolution number is not an article number in the rules.
ICSID institution name	International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes	Full name before defining ICSID	Do not expand Centre to a different institutional name.
ICSID procedural publication	ICSID Arbitration Rules, 2022 version	Rule-set title and version, distinct from Institution Rules and the Convention	A shared ICSID cover does not make every component the same instrument.
ICSID historical publication comparison	2006 and 2022 Rules and Regulations sets	Preserve the consulted version and component title in each comparison	The newer download does not automatically replace the earlier governing version.
ICJ judgment	Jurisdictional Immunities of the State (Germany v. Italy: Greece intervening), Judgment, I.C.J. Reports 2012, p. 99	Judgment of February 3, 2012; case 143; document 143-20120203-JUD-01-00-EN	The website case number, document identifier, reporter page and any paragraph pinpoint are different coordinates.

UN Treaty Collection status pages are time-stamped and include information beyond treaty text. Capture the relevant status record when the proposition concerns a state's action or reservation.

Some institution pages returned substantive official indexed text while direct page requests were blocked. The source register records that access limit. This table uses the supported publication metadata and does not claim to have inspected every underlying rule PDF or treaty article.

Primary sources and their scope: UN Treaty Collection: Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties; UN Treaty Collection: Convention on Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards; UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules publication page; UNCITRAL General Assembly resolution list; ICSID Convention, Regulations and Rules; ICSID Rules and Regulations publication library; ICJ Judgment of 3 February 2012 in Jurisdictional Immunities of the State.

The UNCITRAL, ICSID and ICJ entries use substantive indexed text from the linked official pages; direct retrieval of those pages was unavailable or returned 403. These rows identify institutions, editions and publication metadata. They do not summarize the full rules, treaty obligations, party status or the judgment's holding.
