One is consistency . The other is consideration for the reader . Legal writing is more persuasive when the author refers to legal materials in a clear, consistent and familiar way . When it is easy to identify and to find the author s sources, it becomes easier for the reader to follow the argument.

10 The Oxford University Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities ( OSCOLA ) is designed to help the author to achieve consistency and to make life easier for the reader . OSCOLA does not purport to be comprehensive, but gives rules and examples for the main UK legal primary sources, and for many types of secondary sources . As far as possible, the guidelines in OSCOLA are based on common practice in UK legal citation, but with a minimum of punctuation . When citing materials not mentioned in OSCOLA , use the general principles in OSCOLA as a guide , and try to maintain consistency.
