Hello,
We need help to modify and update a style in Zotero style Repository.

In the style "Manuel canadien de la référence juridique 10e édition (Guide McGill, Français - Can" (French language version of the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation),

the ampersand (&) should not be used to separate authors.

In the CSL code, for the bibliography, "symbol" should be replaced by "text" (which gives "et" in French for "and").

In footnotes, it's ok : the "et" (=and) displays correctly,

But when there is a "supra" in footnote, it would be appreciated if someone with the necessary expertise could replace "&" ("symbol") by "et" ("text"=and).

Thanks for your help if you can modify and update the style in Zotero style Repository.

Now the McGill Style in French (Manuel canadien de la référence juridique 10e éd) for Zotero is corrected and updated (3rd March 2026). Thank you so much "damnation" and "POBrien333" to have corrected the CSL code so that the "&" is not used anymore between authors in bibliography and in footnotes after "supra". That's a nice improvement for the users who appreciate it. Many thanks from "Université du Québec à Montréal" Legal studies Departement and Law & Political science Library !

Le style McGill en français (Manuel canadien de référence juridique, 10e édition) pour Zotero a été corrigé et mis à jour (au 3 mars 2026) afin que le symbole « & » ne soit plus utilisé entre les auteurs dans la bibliographie et dans les notes de bas de page après un Supra.
