MLA Legal Sources |
Because citation of legal documents can be complicated, if you are using many legal references in a document or use them regularly in your writing, check The Blue Book: A Uniform System of Citation (Cambridge: Harvard Law Review Association). The Blue Book is the authoritative source for documentation of legal sources. Here are several examples of MLA format for commonly cited types of legal sources:
Copyright Felony Act of 1992. Pub. L. 102-561. 28 Oct. 1992. Stat. 893.
H.R. 1058. 104th Cong., 1st Sess., Cong. Rec. S19180 (1995).
Whelan Assoc. v. Jaslow Dental Lab, Inc. 797 F.2d 1222,
230 USPQ 481. 3d Cir. 1986.
17 US Code. Sec. 101. 1980.
