Upgrade StorageStyle Error: Chicago Style (Notes & Bibliography) - Legal Documents
I have noticed two errors regarding Zotero's formatting of Bills and Hearings.
For Bills, according to the Chicago Style Website:
14.295 Bills and resolutions
In citations, bills or resolutions originating in the House of Representatives are abbreviated “H.R.” or “H.R. Res.,” and those originating in the Senate, “S.” or “S. Res.” The title of the bill (if there is one) is followed by the bill number, the congressional session, a section number (if relevant), and the year of publication in parentheses.
16. Homeland Security Act of 2002, H.R. 5005, 107th Cong. (2002).
However, in Word, Zotero formats the footnote as follows, even though the bill number and congressional session information is entered:
7. Wildlife Trafficking Enforcement Act of 2015, 2015, 1.
In addition, the title of the bill is italicized and the year is not in parentheses.
For Hearings, according to the Chicago Style Website:
14.296 Hearings
Records of testimony given before congressional committees are usually published with titles, which should be cited in full and set in italics. The relevant committee should be listed as part of the title. Include the number of the Congress, the page number cited (if any), the date in parentheses, and the speaker’s name, title, and affiliation in parentheses.
11. Homeland Security Act of 2002: Hearings on H.R. 5005, Day 3, Before the Select Comm. on Homeland Security, 107th Cong. 203 (2002) (statement of David Walker, Comptroller General of the United States).
Again, despite all of the required information being entered into Zotero, it formats the footnote as:
8. Eric G. Postel, The Escalating International Wildlife Trafficking Crisis: Ecological, Economic and National Security Issues, 2014, 22.
The title is italicized as it should be, but it's treating the document as if it was a book.
