Research Guide for Law Research Assistants

Citations can be written up in McGill Guide or COAL style. Check with your Professor for their preference. 

The McGill Guide is available in print in the law library or electronically via your personal Westlaw Edge accounts. 

See Legal Citation with the 10th edition of the McGill Guide for a concise refresher on the McGill Guide rules.

Organize your research and save time formatting footnotes and bibliographies by using a citation management system such as Zotero. 

Zotero is a free-to-use system that works well with the McGill Guide style. For more information, see Legal Citation Management with Zotero.
