How to format a Chicago-style paper One inch margins on sides, top and bottom. Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font. Double-space the text of the paper. Use left-justified text, which will have a ragged right edge. Use a 1/2" indent for paragraph beginnings, block quotes and hanging (bibliography) indents.
Direct quotes should be enclosed with double quotation marks if four lines or fewer in length. Integrate quoted material into a sentence with a footnote, endnote, or parenthetical citation at the end of the quoted passage.
Court Case Elements of a case citation. A case citation includes names of the parties, the volume number of the case reporter, the abbreviated name of the case reporter, the series number, if there is one, and the number of the first page of the case. Abbreviated form of the citation: Roe, 410 U.S. 113, at 114.
Block Quotes A quotation of at least five lines or at least two paragraphs should be placed in block format without quotation marks. Indent the entire quotation 0.5”—the same as a standard paragraph indent. ing to Kate L. Turabian's A Manual for Writers, block quotes should be single spaced (Turabian 2013, 349).
Block quotations start on their own line. The entire block quotation is indented 0.5 inches, the same as the indentation for a new paragraph, and is double spaced. Block quotations are not surrounded by any quotation marks. The punctuation at the end of the block quotation goes before the citation.
Direct Quotes Incorporate text less than 100 words into your text. Place the quote in quotation marks. Include page reference in parenthesis after quotation mark. If quotation ends the sentence place parenthetical reference at end including page reference.
Quotations of fifty or more words should be single spaced, indented on both sides, justified, and without quotation marks. This is known as a block quotation. Quotation marks within a block quotation should appear as they do in the quoted material.
A block quote is indented 0.5 inches in Chicago style. Additionally, a Chicago style block quote does not use quotation marks and is single-spaced.
Direct quotes should be enclosed with double quotation marks if four lines or fewer in length. Integrate quoted material into a sentence with a footnote, endnote, or parenthetical citation at the end of the quoted passage.
