What is the OSCOLA Hour?

An informal support session. You can come along for advice on using OSCOLA for legal citations and referencing.

No need to stay for an hour. Just drop in throughout the hour and ask your question.

These sessions are run by Lee Snook, your Law Librarian or Stewart Palmer, your Legal Research Skills Adviser

Where do the sessions take place?

On Campus Sessions: Forum Library Foyer, located at the tables to your right as you enter the library.

What help is available?

We won’t do your referencing for you as that is an academic skill you need to develop and it forms part of your assessed work, but you can come along with queries if you need some guidance.

For example, do you need to know more about …?
