Where was this at the start of my degree! The bibliography maker saves so much time, and it handles international sources amazingly.

Pincite is awesome and has become a staple tool for me. Other AGLC4 generators have always missed the mark but I have found Pincite to be accurate, reliable and really easy to use. I am also learning way more about the rules as I use it. The projects tool has been great in helping me manage my citations and research. The document index is also so useful to assist referencing obscure and unique sources. Overall, I highly recommend Pincite!

Why use Pincite

How Pincite works

The whole Pincite generator for a reported case: the Required plate filled in, then the Pinpoint, Optional and Advanced plates, and at the foot the finished citation with its Footnote, Bibliography, Ibid and Later footnote tabs.

The Pincite projects page: an essay's saved sources grouped under Cases, Legislation and Secondary Sources, with a Copy bibliography button at the top of the project. — The projects page, the Copy bibliography button pressed, then a Word document where Paste is chosen from the right-click menu and the finished bibliography appears with its parts headed and every entry alphabetised.

The Pincite projects workspace: a rail of assignments beside the open project's saved sources, grouped under Cases, Legislation and Secondary Sources, with Copy bibliography and Copy all footnotes at the top. — The projects pane, where choosing an assignment from the picker shows its own saved sources; a case is then expanded to its note, pinpoint and quotation, and a note is added to the quotation.

How Pincite works

Choose from over 50 citation types, from reported cases to treaties, UN documents and EU legislation. Your footnote, table entry and later references are all created at once.
Pincite picks up errors as you type and recommends the correction, so your references come out perfect every time.
Citations
With every source, you can save the specific quotes you are using, or pinpoints. Attach notes to them to keep track of your thoughts.
Pinpoints & notes
One saved case in a Pincite project: its quotation is opened, Add note is clicked, a note is typed against the quotation and saved beneath it.
Every source, pinpoint, quotation and note is saved to a project, keeping everything neat and organised.
Projects
One click builds what rr 1.6 and 1.7 ask for: a table of cases, a table of legislation with statutory instruments listed separately, and a bibliography with repeat authors collapsed to a double em-dash. It copies with its formatting intact, so every italic lands in Word.
Bibliography
IV Conclusion
Read against the statute as a whole, the grant yields a narrower power than its words alone suggest. That is the method Harrigan requires, and it is the method the later cases have followed.¹⁴
