[Tutor] Picking up citations

[Dinesh B Vadhia]

I'm guessing that  '499 n. 10' is a page reference ie. page 499, point number 10.  Legal citations are all a mystery - they even have their own citation bluebook (http://www.legalbluebook.com/) !

So 499 n. 10 is a page reference? I can't pick up all alphanumeric
chars between commas, that would include a second reference.
