University of Newcastle Library Guides
The Newcastle Law School requires work to be cited using the Australian Guide to Legal Citation 4th edition (AGLC4) published by Melbourne University in 2018.
The AGLC4 Style is commonly used by legal practitioners, academics and law students in Australia. It is a footnote style that features numbered footnotes in the text, supplemented by an optional bibliography at the end of the document. The bibliography is sectional and may include the work you consulted but not directly cited in the text or footnotes.
This guide provides general rules for footnote citations and bibliography, and instructions for citing a range of legal sources such as case law, legislation, books, articles and more.
For details, follow the links under How to cite on the left of each page, or use the site index there.
