Hi Ananda, My wife just finished her PhD in law on Lyx/BibLatex. She had to use one of the standard formats (verbose-ibid, redefining cite as footcite) in BibLaTeX, because there is no style that properly suited her needs. Fortunately, in her University they did not require her to adapt to any given bibliographic format. If you need to do it, there will be a lot of programming in your future. An example is here:
