For a research essay, when it states you need a bibliography, does that include making a table of cases, and statutes, as well as listing all your other sources?!

it is generally good form in a law assignment to include a list of cases referred to and a list of statutes referred to - just set it out like they do in the front of a law textbook.

But this is only necessary if you're doing some research heavy stuff. If you referred to 5 cases and one act, then the list of authorities is overkill.

Does your referencing guide have anything about it.

We use the Aust. Guide to Legal Citation 2nd ed, I cant remember what it says but it might say you usually dont need one. However I know they often ask for one. What I usually do depends on the number of references, if there are a few i split them into the type otherwise I just do an alphabetised list. Why not ask the tutor how they'd like it as its not that common to need one when you have footnotes
