Checks

Bluebook format for all citations; mark uncertain citations [VERIFY]
Distinguish binding precedent from persuasive authority; state jurisdictional scope
Note whether agency guidance carries force of law vs. interpretive status
Present circuit splits neutrally; identify majority or trending view
Flag areas where law is actively unsettled or under appellate review
Include international developments only where they create US compliance obligations or influence US doctrine
