Both A Uniform System of Citation and Practical Manual of Standard Legal Citations place the date at the end of the citation, but lawyers, when writing briefs, sometimes place it between the title of the case and the volume reference. Many lawyers do not show the date of the decision unless it is relevant to the argument.
