AGLC4 Rule 24.1.3: Nominate Reports

A case in the nominate reports is followed by a parallel citation to the English Reports, or where it is not there, the Revised Reports; the English Reports are preferred. When a parallel citation is given, pinpoints need only appear in the English Reports or Revised Reports part.

AGLC4 page 253

Formatting

  • The case name is italic and the year of the nominate report is in round brackets.
  • A semicolon separates the nominate citation from the parallel citation.
  • The parallel ER or RR citation has no year: volume, abbreviation and starting page only.
  • Pinpoints follow the ER starting page after a comma; each pinpoint may be followed by its own judge in round brackets, and pinpoint and judge pairs are separated by commas.
  • Nominate report abbreviations may contain spaced ampersands, as in M & W.
