I’m writing a paper for school using the American Psychological Association’s format for citations. One of my sources is a case from the SCOTUS, and I can’t figure out A) how I am supposed to write my bibliographical item and in-text citations for it and B) does it matter if I looked up the ruling directly from the lawbooks or do I need to cite Findlaw.com.
Anyone familiar with the format who can help me?
Hey, guys, someone here must have used the APA format at some point, tight?
Well, I haven’t used APA format in a long time, but this website has all the answers you need.

Hope this helps.
No. It does not matter.
if you found something from findlaw.com then you would need to cite it as a website find. it is better to be safe than sorry. FTR, I hate APA. i used it so much in my undergrad i wanted to puke.
