AUSTRALIAN GUIDE TO LEGAL CITATION Fourth Edition MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW Melbourne University Law Review Melbourne Journal of International Association Inc Law Inc © 2018 v Foreword to the Fourth Edition Citation of sources has long been a defining feature of academic scholarship. Even the most original thinker will have derived inspiration from the writings of others, and it is only proper that that debt be acknowledged. Citation also contributes to the history of ideas, by marking out the pathways of intellectual development. Citation of sources in judgments is, by comparison, a relatively recent phenomenon. In the High Court, for example, the number of citations per case increased tenfold between 1920 and 1996, from 23 to 240.1 In part, of course, this increase reflects the growth in the length of judgments. But it is also to be explained by the evolution of paper-based argument, the much greater accessibility of judgments and academic articles, and the availability of sophisticated search engines.2 Proper citation serves important rule of law purposes. Reference to authorities which govern, or guide, decision-making ensures that the judicial process ‘is injected with a certain degree of consistency, predictability and coherence’.3 Citation makes a judge’s reasons more comprehensible, and the process of adjudication more transparent, by exposing not only the path of reasoning but its foundations. Citation also enhances the development of legal principle. Footnotes are a rich resource for practitioners confronted with the same or a related question, and for academics seeking to elucidate the principles which inform judicial decisions and to identify and explain doctrinal developments. All of which makes the Australian Guide to Legal Citation (‘Guide’) an indispensable resource. The Guide has given us a national language of citation, which enhances communication across the legal system. And it epitomises the commitment to precision and consistency on which accurate citation depends.

The Guide is the successor to the Melbourne University Law Review Style Guide, the bane and vade mecum of student editors for many years. The first edition of the Guide appeared in 1998 and the second in 2002. This third edition is considerably longer and more detailed than its predecessors, offering guidance on the citation of new sources of law. Until I worked on the Melbourne University Law Review as a student in the 1970s, I was oblivious to the delights, agonies and obsessions of editorial style and citation methods. That experience imparted enduring respect for well-tempered punctuation as well as accurate and judicious footnoting. It is easy to dismiss rules of punctuation and legal citation as the province of pedants and to imply that attention to such matters privileges style over substance. Punctuation, however, can be critical to meaning and clarity. Lynne Truss acknowledges this significance in her charming meditation on punctuation, Eats, Shoots and Leaves, which she dedicates: To the memory of the striking Bolshevik printers of St Petersburg who, in 1905, demanded to be paid the same rate for punctuation marks as for letters, and thereby directly precipitated the first Russian Revolution.1 As for citation, scholars have a responsibility to acknowledge the sources of their information and ideas carefully so that they can be readily traced by their readers. In this sense, citation practices are akin to musical scales — technical exercises that ground scholarly sonatas. The third edition expands and updates earlier versions of the Guide. Now legal scholars have a stern but reliable guide to the vexing issue of the use of ellipses in quotations, or the citation of parties’ submissions in court cases. The distinction between em- and en- dashes is helpfully explicated. One particularly welcome change from earlier editions is the inclusion of examples for almost all rules. The third edition also contains a number of tables that present complex rules in a simple and accessible manner. __________ 1 Lynne Truss, Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation (Profile Books, 2003) v. vii This volume mirrors the increasing significance of both comparative and international law in Australian legal scholarship. The earlier single chapter on the citation of international materials has now become seven chapters. The international section (Part IV) devotes considerable attention to treaties and the documents generated by international institutions. It includes an entirely new chapter on the citation of documents from international criminal tribunals, reflecting the astonishing growth in the law in this area over the past decade. Part V introduces rules for citing legal materials from China, France, Germany, Malaysia, Singapore and South Africa and contains extensive revisions of rules relating to the United Kingdom and the United States. Such guidelines will enhance the accessibility of foreign legal sources and thus gently erode Australian legal parochialism. The third edition is the product of intense and detailed work. It is meticulous without being stultifying. The authors are respectful sticklers working on behalf of readers everywhere and all Australian legal scholars will benefit from the careful scrutiny and sensibility of the three generations of the Guide’s authors. Sticklers unite! Like the printers of St Petersburg, the authors of this Guide take the conventions of language and research seriously. May this compendium repay their hard work by encouraging precision in prose and clarity in citation. Hilary Charlesworth Professor of Law and ARC Federation Fellow The Australian National University Melbourne University Law Review Editor 1979 January 2010 viii Foreword to the First Edition Many publishers and some publications have their own Style Guides. For years, the editors of the Melbourne University Law Review referred to the Style Guide published by the Review’s constituent body to solve problems of how to cite materials referred to in the articles and notes appearing in each issue. Now the Melbourne University Law Review Association has produced an Australian Guide to Legal Citation. The project is ambitious. As its Preface says, the Guide ‘attempts to set down and clarify citation customs where they exist, and to determine the best practice where no particular custom has been established’. In so doing the Association seeks to emulate other, long established and authoritative citation guides published by university law reviews. Of these, the ‘Bluebook’ is, perhaps, the best known. Published by a group of law reviews led by the Harvard Law Review, The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation has become the standard work in the field in the United States and has now passed through many

  • Review Essay Open Chambers: High Court Associates and Supreme Court Clerks Compared
    REVIEW ESSAY OPEN CHAMBERS: HIGH COURT ASSOCIATES AND SUPREME COURT CLERKS COMPARED KATHARINE G YOUNG∗ Sorcerers’ Apprentices: 100 Years of Law Clerks at the United States Supreme Court by Artemus Ward and David L Weiden (New York: New York University Press, 2006) pages i–xiv, 1–358. Price A$65.00 (hardcover). ISBN 0 8147 9404 1. I They have been variously described as ‘junior justices’, ‘para-judges’, ‘pup- peteers’, ‘courtiers’, ‘ghost-writers’, ‘knuckleheads’ and ‘little beasts’. In a recent study of the role of law clerks in the United States Supreme Court, political scientists Artemus Ward and David L Weiden settle on a new metaphor. In Sorcerers’ Apprentices: 100 Years of Law Clerks at the United States Supreme Court, the authors borrow from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s famous poem to describe the transformation of the institution of the law clerk over the course of a century, from benign pupilage to ‘a permanent bureaucracy of influential legal decision-makers’.1 The rise of the institution has in turn transformed the Court itself. Nonetheless, despite the extravagant metaphor, the authors do not set out to provide a new exposé on the internal politics of the Supreme Court or to unveil the clerks (or their justices) as errant magicians.2 Unlike Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong’s The Brethren3 and Edward Lazarus’ Closed Chambers,4 Sorcerers’ Apprentices is not pitched to the public’s right to know (or its desire ∗ BA, LLB (Hons) (Melb), LLM Program (Harv); SJD Candidate and Clark Byse Teaching Fellow, Harvard Law School; Associate to Justice Michael Kirby AC CMG, High Court of Aus- tralia, 2001–02.

  • The Patents Act 1977 (As Amended)
    The Patents Act 1977 (as amended) An unofficial consolidation produced by Patents Legal Section 1 October 2013 Intellectual Property Office is an operating name of the Patent Office Note to users This is an unofficial consolidation of the Patents Act 1977, as amended up to and including 1 October 2013. This consolidation therefore includes (amongst other changes) the amendments to the 1977 Act made by: the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 the Patents and Trade Marks (World Trade Organisation) Regulations 1999 the Patents Regulations 2000 the Enterprise Act 2002 the Regulatory Reform (Patents) Order 2004 the Patents Act 2004, the Medicines (Marketing Authorisations etc.) Amendment Regulations 2005 the Intellectual Property (Enforcement, etc.) Regulations 2006 the Patents (Compulsory Licensing and Supplementary Protection Certificates) Regulations 2007 the Legal Services Act 2007 the Patents Act 1977 (Amendment) Regulations 2011, and the Crime and Courts Act 2013 In some cases, the amending legislation applies transitional provisions to the changes made to the 1977 Act. It is particularly important to be aware of these transitional provisions in the case of the changes made by the Regulatory Reform (Patents) Order 2004 and by certain provisions of the Patents Act 2004. A number of the repealed provisions of the 1977 Act have been re-enacted or replaced by new provisions of that Act or by provisions in other legislation. Some wording of the 1977 Act has been ‘modified in effect’ by other pieces of legislation, although not actually amended, and footnotes show where this is the case. The Manual of Patent Practice should be consulted for more guidance on all these matters.

PART Ill: Reasons why leave to intervene should be granted 3. Not applicable. PART IV: Submissions 30 Summary 4. Queensland's written submissions are confined to addressing the novel arguments of the plaintiff directed to constitutionalising his particular conception of the rule of law. The plaintiff submits that if ss 74AAA and 127A ofthe Corrections Act 1986 (Vie) apply to his parole application then they operate retrospectively and that such retrospectivity is inconsistent with the constitutional assumptions of the rule of law and therefore 40 invalid. 1 1 Plaintiffs submissions, 2 [4](c), 19 [68]; (SCB 84(36), 85(37)(c)).

  • The Eighteenth Century
    Aula 5 THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY META Compreender o século XVII como um momento de transição na literatura inglesa, caracterizado, em sua primeira metade, pelo Neoclassicismo, e na segunda pelas primeiras manifestações do Romantismo. OBJETIVOS Ao final desta aula, o aluno deverá: Identificar e analisar as características da poesia inglesa do século XVIII, sobretudo em sua primeira metade. Familiarizar o estudante com a poesia neoclássica de Alexander Pope. PRÉ-REQUISITOS História da literatura inglesa até o século XVII. Luiz Eduardo Oliveira Literatura de Língua Inglesa II INTRODUÇÃO During the 18th century, the Enlightenment culminated in the French and American revolutions. Philosophy and science increased in promi- nence. Philosophers dreamed of a brighter age. This dream turned into a reality with the French Revolution, although it was later compromised by the excesses of the Reign of Terror of Maximilien Robespierre. At first, the monarchies of Europe embraced Enlightenment ideals, but with the French Revolution they feared losing their power and formed broad co- alitions for the counter-revolution. The Ottoman Empire experienced an unprecedented period of peace and economic expansion, taking part in no European wars from 1740 to 1768. As a consequence the empire did not share in Europe's military improvements during the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763), causing its military to fall behind and suffer defeats against Russia in the second half of the century. Fonte: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/18th_century DESENVOLVIMENTO As Charles II had no legitimate children, his brother James (1633-1701), who was the first in the line of succession, ascended the throne and became James II and VII from 1685 until the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
