Recapitulations, with annotations,
of Canadian law citations
Welcome to a summary of documentation styles of Canadian law as viewed from the United States. This web page was developed, in part, with support from a Canadian Embassy Program Enhancement Grant from the Canadian Embassy. It relies heavily on two works, both published in Canada by Canadians.
(1) Canadian guide to Uniform Legal Citation, 3d ed. (Toronto: Carswell, 1992).
(2) Gerald L. Gall, The Canadian Legal System, 3d ed. (Toronto: Carswell, 1990).
Three genres are illustrated on this page: legislation, court cases, and secondary materials.
