What is 'legal citation'? It is a standardardized set of guidelines that allows the writer of legal discourse to refer to legal authorities and sources with enough clarity to enable the reader to find or follow those references. This referencing of statements and sources of law must be done clearly, concisely and consistently to ensure efficient and accurate location of these sources.
In 2008 the Murdoch School of Law decided to adopt a variation on the Australian Guide to Legal Citation, (2nd ed, Melbourne: Melbourne University Law Review Association Inc, 2002) (R340.0148 AUS 2002) as the standard which Murdoch law students should follow. The Murdoch legal citation variation to AGLC is a 2 page short guide for regular use. Consult AGLC < http://mulr.law.unimelb.edu.au/files/aglcdl.pdf > for elaboration of citation issues not covered in the guide. This can be viewed online but not downloaded. Copies can be purchased from the Murdoch bookshop.
