Do you believe that reasonable footnotes (reference to articles, websites, etc.) count within the word limit of the legal essays you need to write for certain LLM's (in particular Harvard)??
thank you

I don't think they count. But after all - do you really need them? Anyway, you could make it more professional by putting all references at the end. BTW, what is the topic of your A-part essay?

You don't need to footnote your essay. If you're referring to a certain scholar, just refer to him by name. Footnoting the essay might make you look like a gunner, it's quite unnecessary.

I think footnotes do not count. But I agree with Toni: maybe by adding a lot of footnotes you are overloading your essay...

actually i am using the footnotes to refer to articles and to websites where you can fin cases/treaties I am quoting.
there is no substantial information and it's just to show that i do not quote legal sources i have not checked by myself
for 900 wors, i have 7 footnotes...
what is a "gunner"
