When you are researching a case, you may find a neutral citation (as on Can LII) or you may find a citation that does refer to a printed series of law reports. Here is an example:

Freshwater Fishing Marketing Corp. is the name of the plaintiff, the person who started the legal action; Duchominsky is the name of the defendant. Together the names of both parties make up the portion of the citation known as the style of cause.
A case citation may also appear this way:
