Chicago 16th edition referencing style

Footnotes and Bibliography for the Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition

Legal material

The Chicago Manual of Style does not recommend a specific citation system for legal references (statutes, cases, treaties, etc.). It recommends the use of specialist legal citation guides.

If you need to cite such materials in your document, we recommend that you reference them in a footnote, in the format recommended by the latest edition of the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC), which is freely available online. Do not include these references in your bibliography.
