Term · Law · MLC-T-LAW-005318
A legal citation signal used to introduce a comparison between two or more authorities that offer different or analogous perspectives on a legal point. The comparison illuminates the main proposition by showing how other sources have treated the same or a similar issue, either by reaching a different conclusion or by applying a related rule. This signal is distinct from 'cf.', which suggests an analogous but not directly contrary authority.
