一、什么是citation?
由于卷宗号这一块涉及内容庞杂,这里再逐一特别说明一下。我们首先来看一下《布莱克法律字典》中citation的定义:A reference to a legal precedent or authority, such as a case, statute, or treatise, that either substantiates or contradicts a given position. (p.237) 7th edition. 由于a citation is a reference to a legal authority,因此,citation必须要有一个标准,这样以后的参考者才容易检索得到。正如《布莱克法律字典》所指出的一样,Citation formats exist for many different types of legal sources including cases, statutes and secondary legal materials. Understanding the basic format for each of these different types of sources will enable the researcher to more independently locate materials in the law library.
案例之中的卷宗号通常包括下列几个部分:
a. 案件双方当事人姓名(the names of the parties involved in the lawsuit);
b. 包含案件全文的汇编卷号( the volume number of the reporter containing the full text of the case);
c. 该案例汇编的缩写名称(the abbreviated name of that case reporter);
d. 案例开始的页码数(the page number on which the case begins);
