In which edition year is Emily S. Davidson's 'Education Law' cited?

• A. 3rd ed. 2021
• B. 2nd ed. 2019
• C. 4th ed. 2023
• D. 1st ed. 2018

Answer: (A)

Edition and year in a citation tell you exactly which version of a textbook to consult, since content, pagination, and even chapter organization change across editions. When the reference specifies Emily S. Davidson's Education Law as the third edition published in 2021, that is the precise edition being referenced. The 3rd edition from 2021 provides the specific material and page layout the citation expects; using an earlier edition would yield different pages and possibly updated or reorganized content, while a later edition might introduce new material not present in the cited work. If you need to verify, check the title or copyright page for the edition statement to confirm you’re using the exact edition cited.
