2.1 Different Citation Styles and the Significance of a Uniform Rule of Citation

The styles' family: the Bluebook (the US law's standard); the OSCOLA (the UK's); the APA- Chicago (the social sciences); the Nepali practice (the NKP's own forms — the law faculty's convention). The uniformity's significance: the verification's trail (the reader's route to the source); the authority's display (the SC's judgment properly identified); the discipline's membership (the profession's shared forms); the examiner's efficiency (the consistency's courtesy). The clinical course's rule: one style, consistently applied — the convener's guide controls.
