\nQuotations should be clearly indicated and it is vital that they are accurate.\n\n
\nWhere 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.\nAbbreviations and Contractions<\/i><\/b>
\nFor example, “Company” is abbreviated to “Co”, “exempli gratia<\/i>” is abbreviated to “eg<\/i>” and “Limited” is contracted to “Ltd”.\nForeign words<\/i><\/b>
\nForeign words not currently absorbed into the English language should be italicised,\u00a0eg<\/i>\u00a0“inter alia<\/i>“, “bona fide<\/i>”\u00a0etc<\/i>.\nReferences and Citations<\/i><\/b>
\nCitations should conform as closely as possible to the McGill Law Journal,\u00a0Canadian Guide to Uniform Legal Citation<\/i>, 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.\nBook Reviews<\/i><\/b>
\nReviewers 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.
