Abbreviate as follows, which is different from the format used for law reporter series: Do not use superscripts. If there is no edition statement, then 1st ed is assumed. Use the first place of publication listed on the title page or verso. Use the English spelling if it exists e. Use the name on the title page. Omit terms of corporate status e. Use the copyright date of the book unless a specific year of publication is given. To refer the reader to a specific page or section, add a reference following the publication information.

Note that many older references to journals will include the volume number only. The use of the issue number was reserved for the few journals that restarted the page number with each issue, to make finding an article easier. Now, many journals are available online and are not bound together as a single volume and so it makes sense to include the issue number. Abbreviate the full title of the journal. Case Comments A case comment is a special type of journal article. Often, a journal article will comment on a case, and perhaps compare and contrast a case with others, with no mention of the term, "case comment. Sometimes, an article will actually indicate that it is a case comment. These articles may, or may not, have a title. Do not include the case name if it is a part of the title. After the bibliographic information, introduce the word or phrase with sub verbo, which means "under the word. Examples for the print and electronic versions of the two Canadian encyclopedias follow.

Download PDF version of guide for print I. Introduction The Goodson Law Library has extensive holdings in Canadian law, emphasizing English language material, housed either in the reference collection or on Level 1 under call numbers beginning with KE. The collection is arranged beginning with national statutes, followed by administrative codes, gazettes, case digests and reporters, and then other material, such as treatises. Following the national collection, the provincial collections are arranged in a similar fashion. Canadian law journals are shelved on Level 4 with Law Periodicals, alphabetically by title. Quicklaw currently as of October requires individual user registration while issues with IP access are restored. Current Law School students, faculty, and staff may contact the Reference Desk for registration information. Contains lists of primary sources and an extensive treatment of Canadian law databases. This is a good, concise introduction to Canadian resources which includes checklists to follow in researching. Tjaden, Ted, Researching Canadian Law. Includes an introduction to the Canadian legal system and information about both print and online resources. Treatises The Law Library owns many treatises on Canadian law. Most are classified under KE and are located on Level 1. Among the basic texts explaining the Canadian legal system are: Forcese, Craig, The Laws of Government: The Legal Foundations of Canadian Democracy, 2d ed. McCormack, Nancy and Melanie R. Delves into the historical background for Canadian law. Gives basic legal concepts and a description of the Canadian legal system. Additional treatises on particular legal topics can be found in the Duke Libraries Catalog with a subject search for [topic] â Canada; e. The "Essentials of Canadian Law" series, published by Irwin Law, is an excellent starting place for many Canadian legal subjects. The database vlex provides electronic access to many of the recent titles in that series, which are also available in print at the library. Other recommended treatises for specific legal topics can be found on the Canadian Legal Research and Writing Guide Suggested Textbooks page. Encyclopedias and Digests Another good place to start your research is one of the digests or encyclopedias of Canadian law. The online version combines and updates the text of two separate print encyclopedias, both no longer updated in print at the Goodson Law Library: C21, updated through in print, which focuses on federal law and provincial law of the Western portion of Canada. Entries in the Digest provide a textual summary of the law with extensive footnotes to primary sources. Quicklaw also contains JurisClasseur Quebec, a French-language encyclopedia covering Quebecois law, and the Canada Digest, a compilation of various topical digest services. Users may search or browse the various digest subtopics to access the case law summaries, which date back to The Canadian Abridgment, 3d ed. This comprehensive work includes case digests, statute and case citations, a consolidated table of cases and an Index to Canadian Legal Literature Reference Indexes which includes both treatises and periodicals. C will help you use this work in print. To access Canadian case law by topic online, see Section V. Provincial courts hear cases involving provincial law and most federal law cases. Although there are variations, all the provinces have developed a system with trial courts of general jurisdiction whose names vary from province to province whose decisions may be appealed to courts of appeal. Canada has a Federal Court of limited jurisdiction, known until as the Exchequer Court, which hears such matters as copyright, patents, and claims against the federal government. The decisions of both federal and provincial courts may be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, which is also the constitutional court. The website of the Supreme Court of Canada provides a good explanation of the Canadian judicial system. Finding case law for Canada is similar to finding case law in the United States. There are reporters for the provincial, territorial, and federal courts. Canadian decisions are also available in electronic format on Quicklaw, Lexis Advance, Westlaw, HeinOnline, and free websites. The reporters available through Duke include: Coverage of this official publication begins in Since all decisions have been reported in both French and English. This reporter series Page 4

Exchequer Court decisions are located in the official publication, Reports of the Exchequer Court of Canada, from to, and Canada Law Reports: Exchequer Court of Canada both at KE A23 from to its demise in Supreme Court of Canada KE Beginning with, a commercially produced reporter, National Reporter KE D66 is a weekly report of both provincial and federal cases throughout Canada. It began in and is presently in its 4th series. Provincial There are two regional reporters that publish provincial decisions. These provinces now have their own reporters and the Law Library does not collect the regional reporter. The Law Library has a selection of the current provincial reporters and some earlier reporter series. Provincial reporters are published for each of the provinces and territories, except for Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, which have a combined reporter. Provincial reports for other areas began only in the late s or early s. Subject Law Reporters Although searchable online databases like Quicklaw and Westlaw have made it easier to quickly locate case law on a certain topic, many subject law reporters are also published for Canada. They include standard areas of law, such as patents, family law and securities, as well as some that you may not expect, such as human rights. Case Updating As in United States legal research, all cases must be updated Canadians generally refer to updating cases as "noting up". It is possible to update cases from the Supreme Court of Canada and other federal courts, as well as from some specialized and provincial courts on Westlaw with the "Citing References" tab, as well as with the QuickCITE citator service available on Quicklaw. The other method of updating cases is to use Canadian case citators or "noter-uppers" in print. In order to completely update a case in a print citator, you must search it in each of the series by case name and then go to the paper pamphlets that update the citations. The Canadian Legal Research and Writing Guide includes a comparison and how-to guides for the major case citators. With the passage in of the Canada Act, the British Parliament officially removed itself from the legislative structure of Canada. Simultaneously, the Canadian Parliament passed the Constitution Act,, which consolidated all of the various acts that were considered part of the Canadian Constitution and included a schedule of 30 laws, of which 23 are still in effect. Since then there has been added to the Constitution the Constitution Act, Representation. Z85 C35 is a bilingual commentary with citations to many cases. Bills are read three times in parliament before becoming statutes. Until, the volumes were sessional, which means that they did not correspond to the calendar year. Beginning with, they are annual volumes. Prior editions of the R. Statute consolidation is now an ongoing process at the federal Justice Laws Website. Legislation in the online services will include citing references from later case law and from secondary sources. Provincial The provincial statutes are published in annual volumes. Quicklaw and Westlaw include citing references to statute sections from later case law and commentary. CanLII also includes a legislative citator feature, which has limited historical coverage but works well for citing cases within its scope of coverage. Regulations Certain statutes enable federal or provincial executive agencies to create rules and regulations to govern various areas. These rules and regulations, together with other subordinate legislation, such as orders and municipal by-laws, may be referred to as regulations or statutory instruments. The most recent consolidation of regulations, the Consolidated Regulations of Canada, KE, lists regulations under the name of the enabling statute. Unfortunately, this work does not have an index, and access is only through the Table of Contents. Provincial Provincial statutory instruments are researched in a similar fashion to federal ones. Each province also publishes official gazettes that contain new regulations and amendments of the older ones. Check the online catalog for library holdings of the particular province in which you are interested. Q83 provides a useful basic background as well. General research guides listed in section III also include chapters on Quebec research.

Capitalize only the first letter of the first word or any proper nouns. APA stands for the American Psychological Association, which is an organization that focuses on psychology. They are responsible for creating this specific citation style. The APA is not associated with this guide, but all of the information here provides guidance to using their style. What is APA Citing? This citation style is used by many scholars and researchers in the behavioral and social sciences, not just psychology. There are other citation formats and styles such as MLA and Chicago, but this one is most popular in the science fields. Following the same standard format for citations allows readers to understand the types of sources used in a project and also understand their components. It outlines proper ways to organize and structure a research paper, explains grammar guidelines, and how to properly cite sources. For more information, please consult the official Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. We cite sources for many reasons. One reason is to give credit to the authors of the work you used to help you with your own research. This is one way to prevent plagiarism. Another reason why we create citations is to provide a standard way for others to understand and possibly explore the sources we used. To learn more about citations, check out this page on crediting work. Also, read up on how to be careful of plagiarism. What does it look like? There are two types of citations. In-text citations are found in the body of the project and are used when adding a direct quote or paraphrase into your work. Reference citations are found in the reference list, which is at the end of the assignment and includes the full citations of all sources used in a project. Depending on the types of sources you used for your project, the structure for each citation may look different. There is a certain format, or structure, for books, a different one for journal articles, a different one for websites, and so on. Scroll down to find the appropriate citation structure for your sources. Even though the structure varies across different sources, see below for a full explanation of in-text citations and reference citations. When using a direct quote or paraphrasing information from a source, include an in-text citation in the body of your project, immediately following it. In-text citations may look something like this: Full Citations Overview Each source used to help with the gathering of information for your project is listed as a full citation in the reference list, which is usually the last part of a project. The structure for each citation is based on the type of source used. Scroll down to see examples of some common source formats. Most citations include the following pieces of information, commonly in this order: Last name, First initial. End this information with a period. In an APA citation, include all authors shown on a source. Our free citation creator will format the authors in the order in which you add them. If your reference list has multiple authors with the same last name and initials, include their first name in brackets. When no author is listed, exclude the author information and start the citation with the title followed by the year in parentheses. When citing an entire edited book, place the names of editors in the author position and follow it with Ed. See below for examples of citing edited books in their entirety and also chapters in edited books.
