CITING ARTICLES

Main Menu

==========================================================

Model

Author(s), Article Title, Law Review or Journal (year) (parenthetical).

Example

Theodor Meron, Centennial Essay: Reflections on the Prosecution of War Crimes by International Tribunals, 100 Am. J. Int’l L. 551 (2006) (discussing the Nuremberg trials).

Typeface

Court Doc:- Underline the Article Title.

Law Review:- Italicize titles and small caps for the periodical title

==========================================================

Author - Rule 15.1 & Rule 16.1

Always cite an author's full name when first citing the work (first name then last name). Include any "Jrs" or "III's," etc. When there are two authors, list them as they appear on the work. If there are more than two authors, either use the first author's name followed by et al, or aqlternatively list them all. These rules apply to instiutional authors as well.

For example:-

Henry Anjou & Louis Capet, Dissolving Feudal Ties, 24 J. Medieval Law R. 34 (2002).

Henry Anjou,et al., Recreating a Feudal Empire, 25 J. Medieval Law R. 56 (2003).

==========================================================

Article Title – Rule 16.2 & Rule 8

Do not abbreviate or omit words in an article title (unlike party names in a case citation). Capitalize words in the title according to Rule 8(a). This rule, in essence, requires the capitalization of all words in a title, including any that begin a title, or immediately follow a colon. But do not capitalize articles, conjunctions and prepositions when they are four or less letters unless, as above, they begin the title or immediately follow a colon.

For example:-

Lockerbie "Extradition by Analogy" Agreement: "Exceptional Measure" or Template?

==========================================================

Journal Title – Rule 16 & Table 13

Always use the abbreviations listed in Table 13 for the law journal or review title. This abbreviation list takes precedence over any abbreviations used by law journals or reviews themselves. If the title is not found in Table 13, then the Bluebook suggests that you structure the abbreviation by employing words already abbreviated in the list. If there are any geographic words, use Table 10.

For example:-

Case Western Reserve Law Review becomes Case W. Res. L. Rev.

==========================================================

Year – Rule 16

As found in the article.

==========================================================

Parenthetical

Follow same rules as used for cases.
