About NALT Citation Guide

The NALT Uniform Format and Citation Guide (also known as NALT's Blue Book) is a standardized format and citation guide for legal research writing in Nigeria. It was developed by the Nigerian Association of Law Teachers (NALT) to provide a uniform approach to legal research writing and citation across law faculties and legal research institutes in Nigeria.

The guide was proposed at the NALT Conference held at the University of Ilorin in 2013, consolidated and approved at Ebonyi State University in 2014, and finally ratified at the NALT Conference held at Afe Babalola University (ABUAD) in 2015.
