§ 3-320. Statute Citations – Most Common Form Illustrations 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2)(C) (2006 & Supp. 2010). Iowa Code § 602.1614 (2012). For short form examples see § 6-530. Additional Examples Federal Statute Citations | State Statute Citations Federal Statute Citations: 42 U.S.C. § 405(c)(2)(C) (2006 & Supp. 2010). 42 U.S.C.A. § 405(c)(2)(C) (West 2011). 42 U.S.C.S. § 405(c)(2)(C) (LexisNexis 1998 & Supp. 2011). 42 U.S.C.S. § 405(c)(2)(C) (LexisNexis 2012 through Pub. L. No. 112-195). 42 U.S.C.A. § 405(c)(2)(C) (Westlaw 2012 effective Dec. 18, 2010). State Statute Citations In states where a citation variant appears against a different background there is a distinct statute citation format used within the jurisdiction by state courts and those submitting memoranda or briefs to them. • Alabama | Alaska | Arizona | Arkansas • California | Colorado | Connecticut | Delaware • District of Columbia | Florida | Georgia | Hawaii • Idaho | Illinois | Indiana | Iowa • Kansas | Kentucky | Louisiana | Maine • Maryland | Massachusetts | Michigan | Minnesota • Mississippi | Missouri | Montana | Nebraska • Nevada | New Hampshire | New Jersey | New Mexico • New York | North Carolina | North Dakota | Ohio • Oklahoma | Oregon | Pennsylvania | Rhode Island • South Carolina | South Dakota | Tennessee | Texas • Utah | Vermont | Virginia | Washington • West Virginia | Wisconsin | Wyoming 76
Alabama • Ala. Code § 7-1-101 ({currency information}).* • Ala. Code § 7-1-101 (LexisNexis {currency information}).* Both The Bluebook and ALWD Citation Manual call for identification of the publisher or brand of any commercial compilation used, not prepared under direct supervision of the state - LexisNexis in the second example. In jurisdictions where there are multiple print editions, the ALWD Citation Manual identifies all publishers even the one whose version is "official" being produced under contract with the state (West in this case). The AALL Universal Citation Guide would not include the publisher in any case. Alaska • Alaska Stat. § 45.01.101 ({currency information}).* • AS 45.01.101.** * The ALWD Citation Manual identifies the publisher even when its version is "official" being produced under contract with the state (LexisNexis in this case); The Bluebook does not. The AALL Universal Citation Guide would not include the publisher in any case. ** Within Alaska, this more economical statutory citation format, without currency information, is used in decisions of the state's own courts and submissions to them, under circumstances where there is little ambiguity about which jurisdiction's statutes and which version are referred to. See Alaska Stat. § 01.05.011 (2009). Arizona • Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 47-1101 ({currency information}). • Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 47-1101 ({currency information}).* • Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 47-1101 (LexisNexis {currency information}).* • A.R.S. § 47-1101 ({currency information}).** * Both The Bluebook and ALWD Citation Manual call for identification of the publisher or brand of any commercial compilation used, not prepared under direct supervision of the state - LexisNexis in the third example. In jurisdictions where there are multiple print editions, the ALWD Citation Manual identifies all publishers even the one whose version is "official" being produced under contract with the state (West in this case - the second example). Both also call for adding the designation "Ann." when the compilation's name includes the word "annotated." The AALL Universal Citation Guide would not include the publisher in any case nor would it indicate whether the version used was annotated. ** Within Arizona, this more economical statutory citation format is used in decisions of the state's own courts and submissions to them, under circumstances where there is little ambiguity about which jurisdiction's statutes are referred to. See Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 1-101 (2009). 77
