What is et seq?

Et seq. is an abbreviation of the Latin term "et sequentia" which means "and the following". It is commonly used in legal writing to refer to a series of sources that follow a previously cited source.

In legal research, et seq. is typically used as a way to save space and time when citing a series of sources that follow a cited source. For example, instead of listing all of the cases that follow a cited case, a lawyer might use "et seq." to indicate that there are additional cases that follow the cited case.

Et seq. is often italicized and can be abbreviated as "et seq." or "et seqq." depending on the citation style being used. It is commonly used in legal documents such as court documents, legal briefs, and law review articles.
