<P> The Oxford University Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA) is a style guide that provides the modern method of legal citation in the United Kingdom; the style itself is also referred to as OSCOLA . First developed by Peter Birks of the University of Oxford Faculty of Law, and now in its 4th edition (2012, Hart Publishing, ISBN 9781849463676), it has been adopted by most law schools and many legal publishers in the United Kingdom . An online supplement (developed for the third edition) is available for the citation of international legal cases, not covered in the main guide . </P> <P> Cases are to be cited without periods in the names or the report names . If there is a neutral citation, which is generally the case after 2001 or 2002, cite it before the' best' report: the Law Reports (AC, QB, Ch etc .), or the WLR or the All ER . </P>
