Talk:Idem

Id.

In the legal context, a supervising attorney once told me that "Id." can refer to cases but not pleadings. So that if I referenced "Amended Complaint, Paragraph 2" and then made a reference to Paragraph 6 of the same pleading, the citation should not be "Id. at Paragraph 6". Is there a hard rule on this usage anywhere? And if you can't use "Id." to refer to pleadings, is there another abbreviation that would be appropriate? 64.190.125.130 17:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Id. → Idem — The term Id. can mean other things (like the deprecated postal abbreviation for Idaho). Let's list Id. on ID as an abbreviation of Idem, so we can have all abbreviations of Id. on one page per standard for two-letter abbreviations. --Jokestress (talk) 06:58, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

• Hmmm. I see that we have Et cetera unabbreviated, but at the same time Ibid. and Viz. abreviated. But for the reasons above (note that id is actually an English word on its own, albeit a Latin borrowing) weak support, in the absence of any consistency between similar articles. 86.6.193.43 (talk) 22:49, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
