Legal materials

The AMA Manual of Style refers readers to other established legal referencing styles. To reference Australian legal materials see, Bond's Library Guide for the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC): https://bond.libguides.com/aglc.

EndNote is not well-suited to the complexities of various legal styles and you will mainly need to construct your citations manually. Use the 'Case' or 'Statute' reference types.
