OSCOLA referencing style is used when submitting work for a module for the School of Law.  Due to the complexity of particular sources, some entries are very detailed.  Make sure to fully read each page.

Student dissertations are not the best sources to cite. If your lecturer agrees to their use, follow the format below.
