Electronic versions of cases and journal articles: Many cases and journal articles can be found in legal databases such as Westlaw, Lexis Library, etc. However, it is not necessary to cite databases as a source. Almost all legal reports and reviews are available in print. The citation itself is sufficient because it contains the legal report or journal in which the case was reported or the journal article was published. There are a few journals where only an electronic version is available, usually the reference is in the title: The Internet Journal of Criminology.
For these titles, it is necessary to add the URL in triangular brackets and the date of access.

It`s also easy for a reader to learn more about your topic by diving into the research you used to write your article. In academia, articles are not written in a vacuum; Academic journals are how new research flows on a topic and builds on previous work. Some jurists focus on classic bibliographies of the past, while others examine how legal bibliography is used by legal information specialists. According to Peairs (in „Legal Bibliography: A Dual Problem”), legal bibliography was already a „purely mechanical subject, as was its procedure” as early as 1949. Reference to a legal authority, such as a case, constitution or treaty, in which certain information can be found. A bibliography is a list of works (such as books and articles) written on a particular topic or by a particular author.

Failure to produce may result in an arrest warrant. (2) an announcement of an appearance before a court in a civil case in which the presence of a party normally required by law seems necessary, such as a person whose relatives wish to place them under curatorship (take charge and manage their affairs). 3) the reference (citing) of a law, precedent or legal textbook in a court (written statement of the court) or an argument before a court called „citing authority”. (4) the section of the Act or the name of the case, as well as the volume number, series of reports and page number of a case mentioned in a pleading, points and authorities or other legal arguments.

It can also be an annotated bibliography. A large bibliography is sometimes published in book form. Chicago has two different ways of citing the works consulted: the use of a bibliography or a reference site. The use of a bibliography or reference page varies depending on whether you are using parenthetical citations for the author`s date in the article or footnotes/endnotes. If you use parenthetical citations, follow the formatting of the reference page. If you use footnotes or endnotes, use a bibliography. The difference in the formatting of entries between the two systems is the location of the cited publication date.
In a bibliography, it appears at the end of an entry. In an author-date style reference list, it appears right after the author`s name, similar to the APA style.
