28. ALWD requires the inclusion of division/district information for state appellate courts
29. Ex. MBNA Am. Bank, N.A. v. Cardoso, 707 N.E.2d 189 (Ill. App. 1st Dist. 1998).
30. BB permits, but does not require, inclusion of division/district information. Only when of “particular relevance”
31. When is it of “particular relevance?” When your state’s court system is set up with several appellate courts and the precedential weight of the courts’ decisions are not strictly equal across the state.
