A Word About Citation
The careful reader will doubtless recognize that, in places, citation conventions
differ from article to article and, indeed at times, within the same article.
This is a consequence of the use of two different citation manuals in the documentation
process: 1) Sources of Law (2nd Ed.) by Thomas O’Malley and
2) The Bluebook: A Uniform Guide to Legal Citation (18th Ed.) by the
editorial boards of the Columbia, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Yale
law reviews. The authors have sought to employ the former in citing to
European source materials and the latter in referencing materials from North
America and elsewhere throughout the world. It is submitted to the reader
that these minor, but admittedly distracting, differences reflect the breadth
of subject matter and related research considered in the following student-written
pieces. Furthermore, a great deal of information now is available on
the internet and is difficult, or perhaps impossible, to access in hard copy. Where
this is the case, web addresses have been provided. At any rate, every
effort has been made to ensure that the reader will at all times be explicitly
cognisant of what source the author is citing.
