[samiabechelane]

so helpful, thanks a lot! especially because I don't come from Law undergrad, so my previous knowledge about OSCOLA is like zero, haha. now I'm pursuing a Law module in my politics master degree. cheers! (:

[challahansparrow]

thanks, this was very helpful. I wanted to ask tho, the references you used that were cited by another author, do you add those int the bibliography too or do you leave them under the main author so that one would find them when they read the source from which you got them.

[johnstevenson]

What is a bibliography ? I have my first piece of coursework and I am confused on how to reference it

[aniquefalconer]

Hey i would like to cite a general comment 14 for international law, but i'm having problems citing it. Could you help?

[pthegirl]

You make really useful videos. Thank you so much.

Thanks for your help! I am an engineer who decided to do a law module and I have an essay I need to submit by Wednesday. I have a few questions I would like to ask. Where would lecture notes go in the bibliography section (i.e.case, statutes, journal articles, etc.). Also, I have found a report published by the scottish council of law. Where would that go; I am not sure if it would go under the government publications or journal articles, as I not sure if the scottish council of law is part of the government or not. Lastly, I have obtained some useful information from a website which has example law essays. Which section should I put this reference in my bibliography section? This is my first time doing law and we have had no lessons on how to reference, that is why I am confused.

How do you Oscala reference cases for tort law when you are writing about a case your given? I’m so confused, your videos are really heftily btw!

[khsj]

i want to ask how to reference a full law provision content in the footnotes, as the law provision is too long, how to state it in the footnotes (not count the words)

[ishratkhan]

Very nice, thanks. What's the difference between Ibid and Supra? Can you use both in the footnotes of your essay? Thanks

[brownycurlc]

im so confused about the small numbers and how you are supposed to order them
also do you cite a case if the case is discussed in the page of the book that you cited

[fishfish]

how to cite the same reference multiple times please?

[NaturalIdara]

This video has been so helpful, thank you for putting it up. Please can you tell me how to put brackets around the intext footnote numbers.

[kronodeus]

Sorry, but where do you these numbers from? Like '587'

[saadkabbara]

Hi, thank you so much for this video it has helped me so much. One of my friends challenged me and told me that OSCOLA uses 'Ibid' instead of 'Supra'. What should I use? Thanks again!
