Legal Citations
Legal citations are complex, use abbreviations, and vary between federal and state laws, so always consult your assigned style manual or The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (KF245 U55 Evans Reference 1st floor) to learn how to cite a specific legal source. When in doubt, verify with your professor you are citing the way they want you to.
