Chicago Style has specific rules for how a paper is formatted.  These rules include where the title goes, page numbers, your name, citations, and more.

  • Papers should be double-spaced, except for the footnotes and Bibliography page.
  • Page Numbers should be in the upper right, beginning on the first page of text where you have your introduction.
  • Use a 12pt font.
  • Include a cover page with the title, your name, class name, and date.  See the sample paper for details.

Here is a sample Chicago Style paper.   Use this example to see the formatting rules required in Chicago Style.
