New Update and Tools for the Oman Legal Citation Standard (OLCS)

The Oman Legal Citation Standard (OLCS) was first launched in 2016 as a guide for creating a standard format for citing Omani legal authorities in academic works and legal documents. The previous version of the OLCS only covered the rules for citing Omani legislation of all levels. We updated the OLCS to include new rules for citing Omani court judgments as well as Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs fatwas.

We are also launching today new automation tools for generating OLCS compliant citation. You can now use a Citation Assistant on the OLCS website to easily generate legislation, cases, and fatwas citations. A similar feature has also been added to the free Decree Chrome Extension to allow you to quickly generate citations directly from your browser toolbar.

You can view the OLCS and use our new tools on the link below:
