Oman Legal Citation Standard (OLCS) is a guide for citing primary Omani legal authorities in academic works and legal documents. It aims to create a consistent standard for citing Omani legislation and other primary legal sources in a way that makes it easy for the reader to identify the sources used and to predict their citation.
OLCS is designed as a supplement to the Oxford Standard for Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA) exclusively in regard to Omani primary legal sources. The users of OLCS should refer to OSCOLA for general formatting rules as well as all matters relating to international law sources and secondary sources.
For guidance on how to translate the titles of Omani legal authorities from Arabic into English, we recommend that you refer to the Irfan Rulebook.
