1. Footnotes:
A footnote is indicated by a superscript number
which appear in-text after the information you're referencing and corresponds with a footnote at the bottom of the page. Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the same page as the text if this is possible. Footnotes should be in a smaller font and separated from the rest of your text with a horizontal line.
The footnote at the bottom of the page looks like this:
2 See Lawson v Wellesley Hospital (1975), 9 OR (2d) 677, 61 DLR (3d) 445, aff'd [1978] 1 SCR 893, 76 DLR (3d) 688 [Lawson] (duty of hospital to protect patient);Stewart v Extendicare, [1986] 4 WWR 559, 38 CCLT 67 (Sask QB) [Stewarf] (duty of nursing home to protect resident).
2. Bibliography:
Your bibliography will be located at the end of your paper and will be organized according to category of source material. List the type of source as a heading centered in the middle of the page.
