 Zotero has only limited support for creating citation for US and UK legal cases and legislation. Support for legal citations from other jurisdictions is even more limited. For legal scholars or researchers making heavy source of legal sources, we recommend considering [[http://juris-m.github.io/|Juris-M]], a community-driven unofficial version of Zotero specifically designed for compliance with legal citation requirements. Zotero has only limited support for creating citation for US and UK legal cases and legislation.

 Similarly, the //Australian Guide to Legal Citation// (AGLC) is the dominant legal style in Australia. The AGLC style available in Zotero has been written to accommodate almost all item types within AGLC, using similar data-entry conventions as for OSCOLA. A public group with AGLC examples is forthcoming. Similarly, the //Australian Guide to Legal Citation// (AGLC) is the dominant legal style in Australia.
