Legal notation refers to the system of symbols and abbreviations used in legal documents and texts to convey information efficiently. It helps legal professionals, such as lawyers and judges, quickly reference statutes, case law, and other legal principles without lengthy explanations. This notation often includes specific formats for citing cases, statutes, and regulations, ensuring clarity and consistency in legal writing. For example, a citation might include the name of the case, the volume number, and the page number, allowing readers to locate the original source easily.
