The Melbourne Citation Guide Gets International Boost

Melbourne Law School’s student-run journals, the Melbourne University Law Review (MULR) and the Melbourne Journal of International Law (MJIL) will join forces to produce the forthcoming third edition of the pre-eminent legal citation guide; The Australian Guide to Legal Citation (AGLC). Aside from other updates and enhancements in the third edition, the collaboration will result in more extensive guidance for the citation of international law materials.

The AGLC has been produced solely by MULR since 1998, and the involvement of MJIL in the third edition comes after careful planning between the journals and consultation with the Law School.

The announcement of the collaboration by Dean of the Law School, Professor James Hathaway (pictured above with Mr Sunny Leow and Ms May-Ling Low, editors of MULR and MJIL respectively, and who will together edit the third edition of the AGLC), was made at the recent launch of MJIL’s ninth volume. Professor Hathaway praised this historic venture between the sister publications, describing it as a sign of the journals’ professionalism and maturity.
