For example, a legal pleading might involve a complaint from a homeowner that a roofer did not adequately perform a repair, resulting in a leak in the roof and damage to the home. The roofer could then file an answer to the claim, denying culpability.
A note consist of two parts: A superscripted note number (1) in the text, placed at the end of a sentence or clause. A note containing the citation, placed either at the bottom of the page (footnote) or at the end of the paper (endnote).
