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).
Legal Citation Basics A legal citation is a reference to a legal document such as a case, statute, law review article, etc. Most legal citations consist of the name of the document (case, statute, law review article), an abbreviation for the legal series, and the date.
Do not italicize the titles of laws, acts, or similar political documents or put them in quotation marks. Capitalize them as you would any other source title.
The main way to refer to a legal case is by using the case title, which consists of the names of the two parties, separated by the abbreviation “v.” All of these elements should be italicized (set in italic typeface), whether the case title appears within the text of your paper, in the notes, or in the bibliography.
The Basics. The case name will appear at the beginning of the citation. For proper citation, you should either underline or italicize the case name, depending on where in a document you are placing the citation (see Rule 2). There are a few different types of names, and the type of name will determine format.
To cite federal laws (also commonly referred to as statutes or acts) in APA Style, include the name of the law, “U.S.C.” (short for United States Code), the title and section of the code where the law appears, the year, and optionally the URL.
Generally, the a book citation should include the author's full name, the title of the book, the page cited, editor's name (if applicable ), edition (if applicable), and year of publication. A chapter citation will also include the chapter author and starting page.
Most case names use the basic format Smith v. Smith but some cases use the format In re Smith (commonly used in juvenile court), In re Estate of Smith (commonly used in inheritance cases), and In re Three Pink Cadillacs (commonly used in litigation over property.)
Use double quotation marks around the title of an article or chapter, and italicize the title of a periodical, book, brochure, or report. Examples: From the book Study Guide (2000) ... or ("Reading," 1999).
