Legal Citation Guidance

Summary

Properly footnoting and citing legal sources is crucial for legal documents. Use superscript numbers for footnotes and ensure citations align with your chosen style, such as Harvard or APA. For legal cases, include full citations with case names, year, and court details. For books, include the authors name, book title, publisher, and year. Adjust citations according to the required style, like OSCOLA.
