Who is the Citation poster for?
Citation belongs to the Law section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning legal skills can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Citation poster?
A citation locates a source precisely and shows its authority level. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Citation belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Citation?
Analysing a Problem, Client Interviewing and Structuring an Answer sit alongside Citation in the Law section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Analysing a ProblemClient InterviewingStructuring an Answer
Is the Citation poster free to download and print?
Yes. Citation downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Law section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Citation poster print at?
Citation is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Citation loses nothing.Printing guide
