For legislation and case law, JIBC follows the Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (9th ed.). (2018), known as "The McGill Guide".
Note: in-text citations always include the specific section and subsection or page/paragraph number.
If you are new to legal citation, we highly recommend taking a few minutes to review the Queen's University Legal Citation Guide for cases, statutes, and regulations.
Special rules are applied to citing primary legal resources.
The Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation (the McGill Guide) is available in the JIBC Library Reference Section:
