Subject: How to mark up paragraphs in legal texts

In laws and similar legal texts the paragraphs are often numbered. The exact numbering is extremely important, including the format. What is the best way to represent this in HTML?

The two options that come to mind is to either use the <ul> element or use a <p> element and include the number in the text content. Which option would you recommend?
