FAQ
For example, if you want to cite the web page for section 3601 of the Consolidated Laws of New York, you would begin the entry by listing the New York State Legislature in the Author element and putting Consolidated Laws of New York in the Title of Source element.
Court Documents: Underline the book title. Law Reviews: Use large and small capitals for the book title. In large multi-volume treatises, you will often have to indicate which volume you are using. Insert the volume number at the start of the cite or a section after the title.
<Author's last name>, Practice Commentary, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book <book number from spine of book>, <subject> <statute section>.
The citation (for legal documents) looks like this: Donnino, Practice Commentary, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book 39, Penal Law § 125.00. <Author's last name>, Practice Commentary, McKinney's Cons Laws of NY, Book <book number from spine of book>, <subject> <statute section>.
For statutes, it is acceptable to just use the section as the short citation as long as it doesn't confuse your reader. For instance, rather than 42 U.S.C. § 1983, you can just use § 1983. For New York, you can use § 120.05 rather than Penal § 120.05.
For state laws include: Law's common name (if it has one). Title Number (refers to volumes of the state's law code) Source abbreviated, the New York State code is abbreviated based upon where it is accessed. Section number or numbers with "§" in front.
The Template for federal or state statutes is as follows: Reference List: Name of Act, Title Source § Section Number (Year). URL. Parenthetical Citation: (Name of Act, Year)
