Legal citations (laws, treaties and cases): guide for international and comparative lawyers

AyeshaUmana · March 29, 2025

We need guides on citing not according to a country's law but according to a citation type such as OSCOLA. International lawyers cite treaties and domestic laws, but Zotero is confusing because it is too specific for common law. Any recommendations?

Zotero generally isn't the best when it comes to legal citation, there's a post about it in the documentation: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/legal_citations . At the bottom of that link it looks like there's some guidance for OSCALA. There is also apparently the Juris-M project but I am not sure if it is still active.

How many law scholars use or would use Juris-M, do you think, if it continued to be maintained?
