Blackbook by course · Bachelor of Laws
LLB blackbook project
An LLB dissertation analyses a legal question: statutes, case law and commentary, ending in conclusions and suggestions. Citations carry real weight, so every case and section you rely on must be checked against the source.

Questions
Which citation style should an LLB dissertation use?
Many Indian law schools use OSCOLA or the Bluebook. Your college will specify; be consistent throughout.
Can AI write my case law citations?
No tool should be trusted with them. BlackBook marks places where a citation belongs instead of inventing one, so you add verified cases yourself.
