Notes:

Before citing legal resources, please refer to your faculty requirements for legal citations (ask the chief examiner for the unit) and choose ONE of the following options

In Australia, the recommended resource to use for citing legal resources is the Australian guide to legal citation (AGLC):
- Melbourne University Law Review Association, & Melbourne Journal of International Law. (2018). Australian guide to legal citation (4th ed.). Melbourne University Law Review Association.
- See the Law citing and referencing library guide for examples of commonly cited Australian legal examples using the AGLC.

The Academic Writer ( Click green Learn tab >Sample References > Legal ) and Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed., 2020) - provide examples of United States and United Nations legal citations drawn from the Bluebook: A uniform system of citation. (Bluebook, 2015)
