How Do You Write Id

The proper use is ID; never Id.

What do they mean when they say id?

idem is a Latin term meaning “the same”. It is commonly abbreviated as id., which is particularly used in legal citations to denote the previously cited source (compare ibid.). It is also used in academic citations to replace the name of a repeated author.

How is ID used in legal writing?

“Id.” is an all-purpose short form citation that may be used for any cited authority except internal cross-references. “Id.” always refers to the immediately proceeding cited authority, either in the same footnote or the previous footnote so long as it is the only authority cited in the proceeding footnote.
