The Basic Principles of Legal Citation
Generally only two typefaces are used in court documents and legal memoranda – Ordinary type and Italics (indicated in some materials by underscoring)printed in courier).
Case names. Underscore or italicize all case names.
1. United States v. Reynolds, 449 F.2d[2] 1347 (9th Cir.[3] 1971), cert. denied[4], 408 U.S. 924 (1972).
In re[5] Winship, 397 U.S. 358 (1970).
Full name of the case: United States v. Reynolds,
published sources (bound publications which print only cases – reporters) in which it may be found: 449 F.2d,
a parenthetical indicating the court and jurisdiction and the year or date of decision: (9th Cir. 1971)
2. United States v. Reynolds, 449 F.2d 1347 (9th Cir. 1971), cert. denied, 408 U.S. 924 (1972).
Ex parte[6] Winship, 397 U.S. 358 (1970).
Parenthetical Information Regarding Cases
When a case id cited for a proposition that is not the single, clear, holding of a majority of the court (e.g., alternative holding; by implication; dictum; dissenting opinion; plurality opinion; holding unclear) indicate the fact parenthetically:
Parker v. Randolph, 442 U.S. 62, 84 (1979) (Stevens, J., dissenting).
Further information regarding the weight of the authority (e.g., 2-1 decision; Brandeis, J.; per curiam; mem; en banc) and any other relevant information may be added in separate parenthetical phrases:
Green v. Georgia, 442 U.S. 95 (1979) (per curiam)(holding that exclusion of relevant evidence at a sentencing hearing constitutes a denial of due process).
Garcia v. San Antonio Metro. Transit Auth., 469 U.S. 528, 540 (1985) (5-4 decision) (quoting Fry v. United States, 421 U.S. 542, 548 (1975)).
Basic citation Forms. In textual sentences (footnotes):
1)In Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, 244 U.S. 205 (1917), Justice McReynolds stressed the value of uniform laws.
2) Southern Pacific also indicates the breadth of federal lawmaking power under the admiralty jurisdiction.
3) See, e.g., Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, 244 U.S. 205, 225-226 (1917) (Pitney, J., dissenting).
If no name appears in the cited reporter use a popular name or cite as: Judgment [full date].
In a very long case names words not necessary for identification are usually omitted. If the case is a consolidation of two or more actions, cite only the first listed: Shelly v. Kraemer.
Not: Shelly v. Kraemer, McGhee v. Sipes.
Omit all parties other than the first listed on each side, but do not omit the first listed relator or any portion of a partnership name: Fry v. Mayor of Sierra Vista
|
|
Not: Fry v. Mayor of Sierra Vista& City Council of Sierra Vista
But: NAACP v. Alabama ex rel. Patterson; Eisen v. Carlisle &Jacquelin.
Omit words indicating multiple parties, such as et al.
Where real property is a party, use its common street address: United States v. 6109 Grubb Road, 890 F.2d 659 (3d Cir.[7] 1989).
Not: United States v. Real Property known as 6109 Grubb Road, Millcreek Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, 890 F.2d 659, 660 (3d Cir. 1989).
In Bankruptcy and similar cases in which there might be both an adversary and nonadversary name, cite both names if both appear at the beginning of the opinion. Otherwise, cite the name supplied:
Wallingford’s Inc. v. Waning (In re Waning), 120 B.R. 607, 611 (Bankr. D. Me 1990).
In re Drexel Burnham Lambert Group, Inc., 120 B.R. 724 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1990).
