Citation Style for German Lawyers

Oliver Wolf
Hi!

I created a Citation Style for German legal scholars and lawyers. The existent "Law Generic DE" is not very helpful for the needs. I followed the instructions and got this public link.

git://gist.github.com/1453188.git

I hope, I could help.

    Alright, I think this is now according to the requirements

    OK, it's up - I've added Stüber to the title so it's either to find. Also, I've changed the citation-format to note and added field="law"

    Hello,

    thanks a lot for your effort. I know there are quite a few German legal professionals looking for a working citation style.

    I´m afraid this one is not working for me yet. I´d be really happy if we could bring this to a state where is actually works, as this one is the closest to a useful solution so far. However, I think it might take some time, as German legal quoting styles tend to be quite complex, and Zotero isn´t really equipped to include some of the necessary bibliographic data in the first place. I´d be happy to contribute, though I´ve hardly any experience with programming.

    I´ll see how far I get with improving this style, but I might need some help.

    If you'll interested in a medium-term effort (months, not years) based on the unofficial multilingual version of Zotero (MLZ), please consider joining the circle at CitationStylist. We have legal styles in progress for the US, the UK, New Zealand and Canada. The MLZ client allows extension of the available fields, as well as an extended version of the CSL 1.0 citation language and an Abbreviations Plugin, which together should be able to handle the requirements for German legal referencing. It would be great to get a German style in place.

    Although development of this family of legal styles is taking place outside of official Zotero and CSL at the moment, it's not a permanent fork. Once we have styles working smoothly across several jurisdictions, we'll be able to offer a set of specific proposals for changes to CSL and Zotero, so that the styles we've developed can be deployed, in due course, in the official repository and run in the official client.

    I'll send you a private note via zotero.org with my mail. Let me know if you're interested.
