	Universal Citation
		While a uniform citation system should not be adopted without due consideration of the inherent problems that do exist in such a system, most of the depictions of these problems have made bogeymen out of stumbling blocks.
		Citations to scrolls took a simple form: the number of the scroll and the paragraph number of the material being cited.
		A uniform citation system would, for example, Lexis-Nexis asserted, assist judges and court staff in performing their tasks because it would provide a means of initially, rather than post hoc, identifying opinions issued by the courts.

	"Citation" Defined & Explained
		CITATION - The legal equivalent of a footnote; it appears, however, in the body of a brief or memo.
		A citation contains the name of the case or other authority, the name of the book in which it is found, the volume in which it appears, its page or section number and the year decided or enacted.
		Citations ought not to be made to prove what is not doubted; but when a controverted point is mooted it is highly proper to cite the laws and cases or other authorities in support of the controverted proposition.

		Ray Patterson, Legal Ethics and the Lawyer's Duty of Loyalty, 29 Emory L.J. Generally, when you are using LegalCitation, you will enter either the Inclusive pages or the initial page in the bibliographic record, and the pinpoint reference in Access keys in your document.
