Headings in legal essay (1 Viewer)

[DeVenne]

Hello

Could someone please explain to me the how to include the headings for a legal essay?

I have consulted the Australian legal citation booklet but I still don't understand..

I am sure it is fairly obvious!

Thanks

Just follow whatever the requirements for the essay are. When I wrote my essays I used to just use the same font/size as everything else, but put it on a seperate line and bold it. Nothing fancy, but it was clearly a heading.

Its in the guide (if you are following its formatting as well) I think its small caps for the first level of headings cant remember what it was for the second...but I have also handed essays in where I have just bolded or underlined the headings and havent heard anything negative either way. Just make sure its distinguishable from the body

Thanks for the replies.

I have read the citation guide and I still don't understand. I handed in the essay with headings that were in bold, same font, in capital letters...Guess we'll see what happens!

I have read the citation guide and I still don't understand.

Page 8 just says have first headings centred in large and small caps with un-italicised roman numerals.

Do you not understand the format for legal headings, or do you not understand how / when to use headings in a legal essay?
