-===== Legal Citations =====
+===== Legal Citations: Juris-M =====
 Zotero has only limited support for creating citation for US and UK legal cases and legislation. Support for legal citations from other jurisdictions is even more limited. For legal scholars or researchers making heavy source of legal sources, we recommend considering [[http://juris-m.github.io/|Juris-M]], a community-driven unofficial version of Zotero specifically designed for compliance with legal citation requirements.
+===== Legal Citations: Zotero =====
 While we recommend Juris-M for heavy or frequent legal citations, it is possible to create proper citation for basic legal citations in Zotero, particularly if only a few such citations are needed.

 The two main item types supported for US legal citations are cases and legislation ("Statute" in Zotero).
 === US Legal Cases ===
-The most common norms for US legal citation, as prescribed in the *Bluebook* and followed by most general purpose styles like the //Chicago Manual of Style// distinguish between citations to cases that are reported in federal reporters and unreported cases. Zotero's citation styles distinguish between these two based on the presence or absence of a reporter in the data.
