MLA format can be used to cite Court Cases and Acts. You must include an in text citation when quoting or paraphrasing within your essay or else you'll be plagiarising! Some other helpful examples include: 1  Diana Hacker's website-Number 75. 2  legislative (act) law and court case.
The correct way to cite a Supreme Court case is: Petitioner v. Respondent, Volume Series Page (Year), like this: Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896). When a new case is made public, they print up an official copy of the opinion(s) (including concurring and dissenting views) called a âslip opinionâ. From a slip opinion, you can give a half-way decent legal cite, as follows: Alexander v. Sandoval 532 U.S. __ (2001). In this example, âAlexanderâ is the name of the Petitioner, or if there is more than one, the first one listed. âSandovalâ is the Respondent.
