Study Notes
Citation Formats

- APA style employs parentheses and incorporates the court and date within the citation.
- Chicago style requires commas between subdivisions and paragraphs in citations.
Abbreviations and Citation Formats
- The abbreviation for California Code Regulations is Cal. Code Regs..
- The correct format for citing a federal statute within a sentence is to include the title number, the name of the code, and the section number, formatted as: 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
- For citing a California Procedure book in a citation clause, the format typically used is Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 1000.
Citation Practices
- A common misconception is that using 'supra' in case citations is mandatory; this is NOT true as 'supra' can be used selectively and isn’t a hard requirement in all circumstances.
- NOT a requirement for using short forms in citations is that the full case name must have been previously provided in the document; short forms can be used based on familiarity if context allows it.
- In case citations, explanatory phrases should be used in a clear order: the name of the case, followed by the citation, then the court and year, maintaining logical flow for clarity.
