Legal Citations
Because of the complexity of legal citations, MLA follows a legal citation style guide for citing sources such as legislation and case law. Legal citations in your Works Cited list will look significantly different from other material that you may cite.
Seneca Libraries recommends following the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation for citing legal resources. In-text citations should still follow the standard MLA format.
The following resources give detailed examples for citing legal resources using the rules from the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation:
- Legal Citation - UOITThe McGill Guide to Citing Legal Sources as published by the University of Ontario Institute of Technology.
- Legal Citation - Queen's UniversityStep-by-step guide to citing cases, statutes, books and journals, and electronic sources.
