Hi! I was wondering if anyone has created an MLA 9th style that our administrator could upload for the MLA 9th addition? I reached out to EndNote support and it looks like they don’t have an MLA 9th output style. Does anyone have one they would be willing to yet us use? I would be so grateful!
Thanks,

I think there are very minor changes.
A list of the major changes: MLA 9th Edition Changes - Purdue OWL® - Purdue University
Well, so here is just one example that doesn’t seem quite right. Here is the Statute style in MLA 8th, both a general version and a specific example:
Author. “Name of Act (Statute Style).” Code, session ed., vol. Code Number, Source, Year, p. pp., sections. Access Date.
“Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.” United States, 94 ed., vol. 42, ProQuest Congressional, 1974, 5301. United States Congress,.
Here is what it should look like, according to MLA
United States, Congress, House. United States Code. Title 17, section 304, Office of the Law Revision Counsel, 14 Jan. 2017, uscode.house.gov.
It would be ideal if there was one style for US code (public law) instead of just the general statutes.
However, I don’t think it is super common to cite in MLA style for legal documents, so that could be why
