• To avoid charges of plagiarism and failure to cite sources, clearly cite and credit these sources.
• Lecture notes and handouts are not sources – never cite them in your essay/bibliography

• Refer to a specific page thus: Richards, P Law of Contract (5th ed. Longman 2007), at page 259.

Websites
• Do not use and cite inappropriate websites – never cite wikipedia!!
• The website should not be cited as a substitute for the proper reference: cite the law report, article etc and then refer to the website in your bibliography, with the specific page of that website, together with the date you last accessed the site.
• You may cite a website as a source if that information is only available on that site.
Cases
