Prefer footnotes over endnotes. All the footnotes must be ordered with
a superscript Arabic number before. In them will be included, between
other notes, short references to books, periodicals, laws or cases, and
exceptionally, references to unfinished scripts or papers.

form at the end of the document under the title “BIBLIOGRAFÍA
