Guidance
Legal material
There are different conventions for how to cite legal material. Follow one style consistently to help people read and use the information. Source: Australian Government Style Manual
Include separate reference lists for legal material in 3 situations
Certain government agencies and specialist legal publications will use a reference list.
Most government writers should only include a reference list if one of these applies:
- People need the list to understand the content.
- The content includes a reference list for non-legal sources.
- It is agency style to have a reference list.
Set up separate lists under the subheadings ‘Legislation’ and ‘Legal cases’. Arrange legislation and legal cases in alphabetical order under these headings.
Write the titles of Acts and legal cases in roman type, even though they’re italicised in the text. Blocks of italics are difficult to read.
Example
[Reference list headings separate legislation from cases]
Legislation
Long Service Leave (Commonwealth Employees) Regulation 2016
Maintenance Orders (Commonwealth Officers) Act 1966
Major Bank Levy Act 2017
Marine Insurance Act 1909
Legal cases
Dutton v Republic of South Africa [1999] FCA 2
HT v The Queen [2019] HCA 40
