Titles
Contributions should have a title which is both concise and descriptive

Titles to articles should be centred. Type in capitals and emphasise in bold. For example: MEDIATION CLAUSES AT THE CROSSROADS

Titles to case and legislation comments should be centred and followed separately by the full name of the case or legislation if it is not already a part of the title. The title should be typed in capitals and emphasised in bold. In the case of a case comment, if the case name does not form a part of the title, it should be italicised and appropriately footnoted. For example:

UNDUE INFLUENCE: WHEN AND HOW IT MATTERS  TO BANKS AND SOLICITORS
Royal Bank of Scotland plc v Etridge (No. 2) 20011

In the case of a legislation comment, if the title of the legislation does not form part of the title, it should be provided in full and appropriately footnoted. For example:
The Land Titles (Amendment) Act 20011

Abstracts
In the case of articles, an abstract of not more than 150 words should be provided.

Name and Autobiographical Notes
Contributors should supply their full name in whatever convention they prefer. Always highlight the family/last name in bold, eg John Smith or Tan Ah Chew. Contributors' name(s) should appear below the title in the main text. Autobiographical details should appear as a footnote to this and include the contributor's institutional affiliation and current title. Acknowledgements (if any) may also be included.

Headings
The levels of headings should not exceed four.

First level headings should be centred. Type in capitals/small capitals. Precede by capitalised roman numerals, eg I, II, etc.

1. First Level Heading in Capitals/Small Capitals

Second level headings should be centred. Type with initial capitals for main words only and italicise. Precede by capitalised alphabets, eg A, B, etc.

1. Second Level Heading in Italics

Third level headings should be left-aligned. Type with initial capitals for the first word and proper names only and italicise. Precede by arabic numbering, eg 1, 2, etc.

1. Third level Heading in Italics

Fourth level headings should be left-aligned. Type with initial capitals for the first word and proper names only and italicise. Precede by alphabets in parentheses, eg (a), (b), etc. End with a colon and run into text.

(a) Fourth level heading in italics: [Run into text]

Quotations
Quotations should be clearly indicated and it is vital that they are accurate.

• Where letters or words are replaced or inserted within a quotation, the replacement or inserted letters or words should be indicated in brackets "[ ]".
• Where words, phrases or sentences are omitted within a quotation, the omission should be indicated by ellipses '…'. No indication of punctuation before or after the ellipse is necessary.
• Where the quotation will run to more than forty words it should be typed as a separate paragraph and left-indented.
• Double quotation marks should be inserted at the beginning and end of every quotation, but not when the entire quotation is indented or at the beginning of every new paragraph within a quotation.
• Single quotation marks should be used at the beginning and end of quotations within quotations.

Use of Capital Letters
Where reference is made to a specific office, organisation or body then capital letters should be used. Where the reference is general or non-specific then the lower case letter should be used.

Abbreviations and Contractions
For example, "Company" is abbreviated to "Co", "exempli gratia" is abbreviated to "eg" and "Limited" is contracted to "Ltd".

Foreign words
Foreign words not currently absorbed into the English language should be italicised, eg "inter alia", "bona fide" etc.

References and Citations
Citations should conform as closely as possible to the McGill Law Journal, Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation, 8th ed (Toronto: Carswell, 2014). The publishers are unable to check the accuracy of references and citations and it is the contributor's responsibility to ensure that all references and citations are correct.

Book Reviews
Reviewers should include all relevant information relating to the book reviewed. It should include the title of the book reviewed in italics, followed by the name(s) of the author(s)/editor(s) in capitals/small capitals. This should be followed by the following publication information in brackets "[ ]": place of publication, name of publisher, year of publication, total number of pages inclusive of the index (separate sub-totals for the tables and main text should be provided where they are separately numbered), the type of binding (softcover/hardcover) and the price of the book. For example:

McPherson's Law of Company Liquidation by Andrew R. Keay [London: Sweet & Maxwell, 2001. cxxii + 924 pp. Hardcover: £106]

Footnotes are to be avoided in reviews and any relevant citations or references to specific passages in the book reviewed are to be included in the body of the review itself. Publication details of books referred to in the body of the review need not be set out in full. It suffices to refer to the year of publication and, where appropriate, the edition of the book in parentheses "( )". For example:

Legal Philosophies (2nd ed, 1997)
