Guide to Foreign and International Citations
29 November 2006
The N.Y.U. Law School's Journal of International Law & Politics has released its Guide to Foreign and International Legal Citations (pdf, 296 pages). Unlike the Bluebook and the ALWD Manual, the guide "rel[ies] on the source jurisdiction's internal citation system rather than an externally imposed standardized form ..." This allows writers who intend to submit materials to a foreign court or journal to conform their citations to the jurisdiction's own standards. It also allows readers of materials from foreign jurisdictions to understand and interpret the citations. (Hat tip to beSpacific.)
