Featured Resource: McGill Guide

Are you working on your major paper?  Here’s a reminder of some legal citation resources available:

The Canadian Guide to Legal Citation, 9th ed (McGill Guide) is available online to all law students and faculty through Westlaw Next.

Westlaw next home page with an arrow pointing to McGill Guide tab

Queen’s Law Library has a helpful quick guide to McGill citation basics.

For a more automated process, check out citation management software, like Zotero, which has the 7th edition of the McGill Guide available. See our Zotero for law libguide and our recorded workshop on Zotero for more information.

As always, if you have any questions about legal citation or research in general, please reach out to the law librarians at lawref@uvic.ca.
