Legal citation made easy!

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 9th 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.

2022 ELC Research-a-thon: Greenwashing

Stop by the library (or zoom in) this Friday to participate in the all day Greenwashing Research-a-thon event!

This year the Environmental Law Club will be partnering with the Environmental Law Centre to research  business that may be making misleading claims about their products being “green,” “recyclable,” “sustainable,” “biodegradable, “eco-friendly” etc.

This topic was inspired by the $3 Million fine that the Environmental Law Center helped bring against Keurig.

It will be a hybrid event with both in-person (law library classroom 265) and Zoom options from 9am to 4pm on March 4. There will be lunch provided from 12-1, and a keynote presentation from Andhra Azevedo of EcoJustice during the lunch period.

The law librarians will be on hand throughout the day to assist with research strategies and sources.
