when do you use see in legal citations
"See" indicates that the cited authority supports, but does not directly state, the proposition given. Used similarly to no signal, to indicate that the proposition follows from the cited authority. It may also be used to refer to a cited authority which supports the proposition. For example, before 1997 the IDEA was silent on the subject of private school reimbursement, but courts had granted such reimbursement as "appropriate" relief under principles of equity pursuant to 20 U.S.C. § 1415 (i) (2) (C). See Burlington, 471 U.S. at 370, 105 S. Ct. 1996 ("(W) e are confident that by empowering the court to grant' appropriate' relief Congress meant to include retroactive reimbursement to parents as an available remedy in a proper case."); 20 U.S.C. § 1415 (i) (2) (C) ("In any action brought under this paragraph, the court ... shall grant such relief as the court determines is appropriate.").
