Utility, more than the staff's fascination with aesthetics spurred the birth of the UST Law Review Style Guide. Since, its revival in A.Y. 2003-2004, the UST Law Review staff has constantly faced various questions of form and style in the drafting and editing of articles and other material. This led the staff to gather different rules on form and style for editorial guidance.
The Guide hopes to achieve three purposes. First, it is intended to be a tool in achieving consistency or uniformity in the presentation of articles. Second, it integrates informal rules on form and style culled by the staff. Lastly, the Guide likewise hopes to elevate the journal to the status of a reader-friendly publication without sacrificing scholarly quality. The Guide codifies the first rules on form and citations compiled by the staff and likewise incorporates additional rules on quotations, abbreviations and acronyms.
