Works Cited

The basic entry is citing the book in its entirety:

O’Brien, David M., ed. Constitutional Law and Politics: Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Vol. 2. 5th Ed. New York: Norton, 2003.

Since O’Brien is an author too, here’s how to cite one of his articles from the book:

O’Brien, David M. “Other Post-Roe Rulings on Abortion.” Constitutional Law and Politics: Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. Vol. 2. 5th ed. Ed. David M. O’Brien. New York: W.W. Norton, 2003. 1244-8.

Here’s how to cite just one of the legal cases from our course on its own, with no page #’s.

The original legal citation:

Roe v. Wade 410 U.S. 113, 93 S. Ct. 705 (1973)

The citation in MLA format:

Roe v. Wade. No. 113. Supreme Ct. of the US. 11 October 1972.

Lastly, since many of your cases are in O’Brien, you’ll need to do a cross-reference:

Roe v. Wade. O’Brien. 1230-9.

Example:

. . . while the historical development of the “right to privacy” has been largely expansive in terms of personal liberty, rather than restrictive, with the notable exception of Lambert v. Wicklund (O’Brien, “Post-Roe”; Lambert). Roe v. Wade held that personal autonomy was not without restriction though. Specifically, Justice Rehnquist condemns this recklessness in defining privacy as, “to be free from unwanted state regulation of consensual transactions” to be blatantly unconstitutional; a sentiment that he echoes in Pennsylvania v. Casey and in Stenberg v. Carhart (Roe 1238; Pennsylvania; Stenberg).
