Italics may be used ''sparingly'' to emphasize words in sentences (whereas bold is normally not used for this purpose). Generally, the more highlighting in a page, the less its effectiveness. | Italics may be used ''sparingly'' to emphasize words in sentences (whereas bold is normally not used for this purpose).

Use italics to bring attention or distinction to a term — e.g., "Whether a party has the right to bring a dispute under a particular act and before a particular court is a question of that party's ''standing'', whereas the ability for a court to hear particular disputes or questions involving particular types of parties is a question of ''jurisdiction''." or "The term ''ex parte'' means without notice." | |||
Do not use quotations for emphasis. | |||
