Legal material
Learn how to cite legal sources in APA 7 style using AGLC. Use correct correct formats for Acts, Bills, cases, and treaties in Australian to reference sources accurately in your writing.
The APA style guide focuses on legal sources from the United States and United Nations, and refers readers to The Bluebook: A uniform system of citation (Bluebook, 2015), which does not cover Australian legal sources. In Australia, the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC) is widely used by the legal community as a standard for legal citation. AGLC (4th ed) 2018 is published by the Melbourne University Law Review Association Inc in collaboration with the Melbourne Journal of International Law Inc.
Some of the following examples are taken from the AGLC. Please check with your school or course description for any specific requirements regarding referencing.
