Citation of newspaper articles for inclusion in a legal exhibit
<p>I am preparing my exhibits for a special education impartial hearing.  The requirements are less stringent than for a court case.  If I can satisfy the requirements for a court case, I will be fine.  Problem: I'm not a lawyer and have no experience with court cases.</p>

<p>I want to include a newspaper article in my exhibits.  This particular newspaper has its archives freely available on the internet.  Shall I just print out the article, and put the url a little bit below the text?  Or is there a special way of citing a newspaper article?</p>

<p><strong>Edit 9/27/16:</strong></p>

<p>What I ended up doing was just printing the article (to a pdf) from the website.  Didn't have any problems doing it this way.</p>

<p>The generally accepted legal citation format in the U.S. is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluebook" rel="nofollow">Bluebook</a>.</p>

<p>Here is a website to help you generate the citation: <a href="http://citeuslegalus.com/cite/periodical" rel="nofollow">Citeus Legalus</a>.</p>

<p>As an example, here is how one would cite this New York Times article from today's paper called <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/28/business/dealbook/debt-collectors-abuses-prompt-consumer-agency-to-propose-new-rules.html" rel="nofollow">Debt Collectors’ Abuses Prompt Consumer Agency to Propose New Rules</a> that you accessed online.</p>
