AMA 11th Edition Citation Guide

Legislation

The information given in the AMA Manual of Style regarding citation of legislation is specific to US Bills and Statutes.

However, in keeping with the requirements of AMA in general, if the legislation was accessed online, you will also need to include an accessed date and the URL. If the document you are citing has an updated or compiled date on it, include that as well.

Example

Addington v Texas, 441 US 418, 426 (1979).
Bradley v University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Ctr, 3 F3d 922, 924 (5th Cir 1993).
