While the Style Manual states that reference list entries are not always required when citing legislation and legal cases, we recommend you include all legal sources on a separate reference list for your assignments. Not all legal conventions are included in the Style Manual, and the advice provided by the authors is to refer to the AGLC style as an authoritative source. Check with your unit coordinator or supervisor if you are unsure of the conventions in your discipline.
