Today I learnt that OSCOLA stands for the Oxford University Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities.
OSCOLA, edited by Oxford University's Law Faculty is "widely used in law schools and by journal and book publishers in the UK and beyond."* How come I've never come across it before now? It covers legal authorities, journals, cases and legislation (from the UK and EU) as well as key secondary sources such as Halsbury's, Hansard and Law Commission reports.
You can download the fourth edition from the OSCOLA website as well as a separate guide to citing international law sources. Links to tutorials and quick reference guides are also helpfully provided.
