PS 335: Introduction to International Law
Course Instructor: Dan Figgins
Librarian: Matt Sumner
Standard Citation Pattern
Courts render decisions in cases brought before them. These decisions are
compiled into books (called "Reporters") and designated with a standard method
of citation:
volume # source page/section (date)
Volume and page are straight-forward. You'll learn what the
frequently encountered abbreviations stand for pretty quickly. Some are
obvious, like "U.S." for the U.S. Reports, the official reporter for
the U.S. Supreme Court. But others aren't always immediately
obvious.
This Abbreviation Archives source
lets you type in an abbreviation and see a list of courts and journal titles
that contain the letters you've found and need to decipher.
The same citation shorthand is used to identify legal journal
references.
