Order of signals - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

The order in which�citation sentences should be arranged when immediately following each other.� In formal legal writing, citation sentences should be arranged based on the signals that introduce them, in the following order of precedence:

  • No signal
  • E.g.,
  • Accord
  • See
  • See also
  • Cf.
  • Compare with
  • Contra
  • But see
  • But cf.
  • See generally

All sources falling under the same signal should be put in a single citation sentence and separated by semicolons.� Thus, each signal should appear only once in a�given citation - at the start of its own citation sentence.�

See Order of�authorities (for the arrangement of sources within each signal).
