Citing Legal Sources in APA Style. Any time a law or a court case is mentioned in the text of a paper, include an appropriate “in-text citation” (usually in parentheses). For court cases, that includes the main party names as well as the year – e.g. (Griswold v. Connecticut, 1965).
Cite the author's name first, followed by a comma, and then the title of the book in italics - Where a book has a title and subtitle not separated with punctuation, insert a colon. Book citations should always follow the format: author, | title | (additional information, | edition, | publisher | year).
