Cite a law journal article in CSM format

A law-review or bar-journal citation lists the author, the title of the article in italics, the date, the volume number, the abbreviated periodical, the inception page, and any point pages (CSM §3:8[A]). Notes and comments are cited the same way, with “Note” or “Comment” in place of the author. The builder follows the CSM spacing rule for the periodical abbreviation.
