Marking entries for a table of authorities
Once you have organized the information for a table of authorities, you can mark the entries you want to list in it. You first select the text that you want to appear as the full form entry. The selected text appears in the table. Once you select the text for the full form entry, you can give it an abbreviation, such as the first name in a case being cited. For all subsequent references to this authority, you can use the short form as an abbreviation. The short form makes it easy to mark several occurrences of the same authority.
You can mark authorities in the body of a document as well as in footnotes, endnotes, graphics boxes, and captions.
