I chose result number five “Encouraging the use of medium neutral citation”.
This is an article written by Margaret McAleese, a law librarian at the University of Sydney.
First, she explains how to cite Australian Legislation. In order to do this you have to write a short title and the year of original enactment. When this citation type is used, it is assumed that it contained all the amendments up to the relevant date. Sometimes a discrepancy can be found, but the official version with the Royal Assent will always prevail.
Then the autor explains the main topic, for example what is a medium neutral decision. It is a citation that does not depend on any publisher, and to use it you have to write the year of the decision in square brackets, the abbreviation of the Court name and the decision number: for example, [2003] HCA 70. Some Courts include in their decisions the paragraph number and it can be included in the citation adding, after the decision number, the paragraph number in square brackets, like this [2003] HCA 70 at [36]; this is called a pinpoint reference.
This citation will not be accepted by the Australian courts unless a published or reported version does not exist and regarding to the High Court the authorised reports are “The Commonwealth Law Reports”. But the idea of an unreported judgment is changing because now there is more availability in order to make known this judgements; a clear example are cases published in websites. So, now we can consider that a judgement is reported if it is in a public domain, although this may vary according to the reputation of the source.
The problem between medium neutral version and the authorised version is to filter out cases that have a little precedent value:in the first case, it is very difficult to filter them because there is no control over the sources - for example, free websites -, and in the second case, the authorised version. You must focus on the cases with a relevant precedent, so it will be easier to cite if the case is reported.
Finally, there is another problem that makes harder the equivalent value between medium neutral citation and traditional law reports: it's the Academic writing style,which is very conservative and it´s behind the Court´s style. The most important guide in this field in Australia is the “Australian Guide to Legal Citation”.
In order to reach this equivalence you need judges and academics to acknowledge medium neutral citation and, if they'll do it, there will be important benefits related to the cost of use that information, to the easier access to it and, obviously, to the improve of justice.
LEGAL CITATION (by Sara Berzosa) The web page that I have used to realize the work is this www. Legalcitation.net
This one consists of a public domain with references to different cases. This web page and others ,that are similar, use these documents in order that the persons who study and use the documents of the courts could come to these sites to extract the information.
All the documents are a Style Guide. And this guide from the moment in the one that was published has been used by many states as Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Guam, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, South Dakota, Tennesse, Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Court of the Sixth Circuit.
Before carrying out the search there must be born in mind the rules that have been established the different courts in order that they contribute the exact information.
In order to this information could be published and comes to the whole world.
Also there can go away another type of pages that we can visit and this information will contribute us.
Inside the guide of the style we can find the different formats of appointments.
This type of pages can be very useful in order that the different public groups could know the different documents that they form this guide of style.
Citation styles can be broadly divided into styles common to the Humanities and the Sciences. Some style guides, such as the Chicago Manual of Style, are quite flexible and cover both parenthetical and note citation systems. Others, such as MLA and APA styles, specific formats with the context of a single citation system.
These may be referred to as citation formats as well as citation styles.The various guides this specific order of appearance, for example, of publication date, tittle, and page numbers following the author name, in addition to conventions of punctuation, use of italics, emphasis, parenthesis, quotation marks, etc., particular to their style.
In conclusion you paginate these they are an important for the control and knowledge of the legislation of the different states.
