Law: Citing and Referencing

The Royal Holloway University Library's subject guide for Law.

Introduction to referencing

You should reference every idea, opinion, fact or quote from a source, even if you put it in your own words. 

We always recommend that you check referencing advice given by your department and tutor as some referencing conventions may vary.

We can help you with any referencing questions you have, from the basics of referencing to how to manage your references using reference management software.
