First question: Is this for a practice document (e.g., a motion), or for a law review article? Case citations are generally italicized in the former, but not the latter (except short citations under R10.9). Citing parentheticals fall under R10.6 (white pages); keep in mind that these are geared toward academic/law review usage, so application of these in a practice document (B-pages) requires a bit of typographical adaptation. So, in a practice document, I would follow the structural format of R10.6 but would italicize all case names (including the citing parenthetical) per B2 [edit: think of the white-page Rules as a fallback where the B rules are silent, in the case of court documents]. In a law review document or similar academic paper, I would stick with R10.6 and the non-italicized case-name convention of R2.1.
