Legal Citations

In Law courses, use the documentation method indicated in your assignment instructions, your course syllabus, and textbook. If none is given, it is best to follow the documentation method preferred in the discipline that most informs the essay that you are writing (Chicago style for Politics, APA for Business, etc.). This page provides examples of legal citations using: 

  1. Candian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (McGill Guide)
  2. Candian Legal Information Institute (CanLII)
  3. APA Style
  4. Chicago Style
  5. MLA Style
