looks really weird when you have

The court held that Plantiff is a fucking nigger. White v. Coon, 123 F.3d

456 (1969). Blah blah blah

is it cr to put non-breaking spaces in the report citation?

The example you give doesn't look like a problem to me. It would be worse if the (1969) were orphaned.

But, sure, use non-breaking spaces to clean things up as needed.

three reasons to use a WL/Lexis cite:

1) new published case there the published pincite isnt available, you give the WL/Lexis cite as a parallel cite so someone can actually find it

2) some very minor orders in shit like discovery disputes arent going to end up in reporters, and if you have some dumb discovery dispute about some dumb priv log bullshit, a WL/Lexis case could be perfectly good authority.

3) shitboomer partner insists you FIND A CASE and sends you on a hopeless wild goose chase, and you in a non-reporter cite out of desperation.
