Up until now, I've always cited everything I've found to support a statement. That means about four commentaries if they have something to say about it, several Federal Court of Justice decisions, and sometimes even textbooks/essays.
Is that right? I think it's a good idea, as it means I have to write less, but I imagine proofreaders might not like 2-4 line footnotes.
What do you think and why?
Greetings Moritz

What do you think about the idea of introducing the income surplus calculation for GmbHs and why are there sales limits and profit limits for sole proprietorships at all? We can abolish this so that everyone can do it, then it will be much less bureaucratic and easier. And for the VAT, one could simply…
Which psychology universities have a good reputation, especially with a focus on clinical psychology?
So, this summer, I'm finishing my bachelor's degree in Global Economics and Management at the private, English-speaking Constructor University Bremen, and I wanted to work in investment banking or finance management, or as a consultant in one of those fields. Preferably abroad. However, I first wanted to do a Master's in Finance or Economics. My…

Hey, I have a question about the half-yearly grades that you have to include in your Abitur certificate. I'm taking advanced German and biology. My problem is that I'm not doing well in physics. I don't know whether I should take physics twice or four times. Do you have any idea? The subjects I take…
Don’t put all your energy in the quotes. Important are your arguments.
Yes, any argument you need to be able to prove, but the number of proofs does not make your argument better.
Overall, you need to mix well, so use case law, comments and articles. A “one-sided” work, e.g. judgements, is not the goal.
Absolute NoGos: blind quotes without review and missing footnote. Also the non-marked literal quote.
If you want a number: more than five sources per footnote I find too much. The 3-4 recommended above are a good value.
If you have only one source for a good argument, just take it in with one source than let it go. The work consists of a text with footnotes, not vice versa.
Thanks for the answer. That’s all, I can shake arguments out of my sleeve in a quarter of an hour with the knowledge I have. In my opinion, the nervige can then find the evidence. Thanks for the other tips, very helpful!
Ah, I thought you’d work classically and find the arguments from comments, case law and articles. Own arguments are in fact more for live discussion and not for housework. If it comforts you: in practice you can think yourself
I am looking forward to
All that goes, but it doesn’t always have to be given 10 sources. More like 3-4. And work with different sources. I was criticized for a housework because I did not quote from magazines (which I find ridiculous because document is proof).
