Common Mistakes
⚠️
Mistake: Using the letter S instead of the section symbol §
Fix: The section symbol § is a specific legal typographic mark. Using a capital S looks unprofessional in legal citations.
⚠️
Mistake: Confusing § (section) with ¶ (pilcrow / paragraph mark)
Fix: Use § for section references (§ 5) and ¶ (¶) for paragraph references (¶ 3). They reference different levels of a document.
