Legal style references for Chicago (Author-Date)
The Chicago Manual of Style provides alternatives for citing Canadian and UK legal materials, thus implying the appropriate style guide should be used for each country. In Australia, we recommend the use of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC4) for legal material. This style uses footnotes.
- If you are using a small amount of legal material, limit those to in-text references ONLY using the same information you would use in an AGLC4 footnote. We have provided some examples below.
- If you are using more than a few legal references you may need to supplement the author-date system with footnotes (see AGLC4).
See CMOS 14.269.
