Now in its 10th edition, the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation provides a straightforward, uniform approach to the citation of case law, legislation, periodicals, monographs, government documents, online sources, and other secondary materials across all jurisdictions. This guide has been officially adopted by courts and major law reviews across the country, establishing itself as an important tool for legal research and writing. The McGill Guide is a bilingual and bijuridical guide to the citation of legal materials.

New in this Edition:

• The aim of the current edition is to expand the types of legal sources included in the Guide, to fix mistakes from the previous edition, and to clarify its existing rules.
• To clarify how its rules are applied, this Guide provides more examples from a wider array of sources, particularly from online sources and court documents.
• This edition recognizes that online sources are more important than ever and has added sections on emerging technologies, such as Blockchain, and has expanded the sections on online legal research services.
• This edition offers guidance for legal sources that have previously gone unrecognized such as Islamic law, physical objects, and personal communications.
• To improve uniformity and to ensure clarity, this edition has an expanded list of abbreviations for journal titles, condensed the section for online sources, and added a general form for online sources.
• To prioritize sources that are readily accessible to the broadest possible audience, this edition simplifies the process for citing case law by prioritizing CanLII citations over printed reported citations.
