In states where a citation variant appears against a different background, there is a distinct regulation citation format used within the jurisdiction by state courts and those submitting memoranda or briefs to them.

The Bluebook and ALWD Citation Manual frequently diverge in their abbreviations for compilations of state regulations. The Bluebook normalizes all code abbreviations to begin with the state name. For example, Maine's compilation, as published by Weil (now owned by LexisNexis) is entitled "Code of Maine Rules." The ALWD Citation Manual renders that as "Code Me. R."; but The Bluebook converts it to "Me. Code. R." A comparable divergence exists with all 12 states plus the District of Columbia for which Weil publishes regulations. In all instances where there are competing abbreviations, the following chart includes the one that tracks the name given the compilation by the state itself or the principal publisher. In addition, while The Bluebook sometimes, but not consistently, includes the name of the publisher of a compilation, e.g., Weil, in the concluding parenthesis, ahead of the currency information, the following examples, following the approach of the ALWD Citation Manual and the AALL Universal Citation Guide, omit reference to the publisher in all cases.
