About WikiProject Law
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to Law. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
Scope
This Wikiproject is aimed at creating a greater consistency among the law related articles. Key areas of concern include consistency in defining concepts across multiple jurisdictions and proper categorization of articles.
It is vital that we create a comprehensive explanation of the common law, which is shared by most English-speaking countries. The common law is clearly divisible into a number of key areas, each of which should be tackled and developed in turn. These areas are:

Institutional System of the Roman jurist Gaius:
Pandectist System:
Each of these areas contains a wide array of long-established but nuanced doctrines, and each has a complex and ultimately fascinating history - making this a particularly worthy project for Wikipedia to conquer!
A joint effort that can be undertaken between this project and WikiProject Philosophy is to improve the quality of articles concerned with the philosophical questions about law itself. Key components of the philosophy of law include:

- Consent search needs to be developed
- Terry stop needs to be fixed...multiple warnings
- Pretextual stop needs a page...is currently redirecting to "Driving while Black"
- Can Traffic stop be added and fixed? Or separate page called "Traffic stop law"
- Should Fish v. Kobach be renamed Fish v. Schwab? Document 573 in this case in the US District Court for the District of Kansas filed 01/18/19 says, "Plaintiffs sued Defendant Kris W. Kobach in his official capacity as Secretary of State for the State of Kansas. Kobach served in that capacity until noon on January 14, 2019. At that time, his successor, Scott Schwab, was sworn in as Kansas Secretary of State. By operation of law, Secretary Schwab “is automatically substituted as a party.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(d)." The final rulings were issued June 18 and 19, 2018, but the case was appealed. I suspect that people with Wikipedia:WikiProject Law may have standard procedures for dealing with situations like this.

Tasks

Here are some tasks you can do for WikiProject Law:
- Factual verification needed
- The Doctrine of the General Talking Pictures Case - please check this new article for conformity to Wikipedia style
- Doug Anthony All Stars. This article makes reference to two bans, of a book and an album by this comedy / variety group, in the UK circa 1989-1990, with both resulting in court cases. Are there any UK lawyers out there who might locate citations for these court cases, and perhaps include key quotes from judgements in the WP article? hamiltonstone (talk) 22:39, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
- Article clean up
- Agency (law) - This page needs to be merged with Agent (law). Also, the article itself needs clean up and better citations.
Attorney of record Done -Ado2102 (talk) 07:51, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- Biopiracy
- Case law
Civil confinement Rewritten. -Ado2102 (talk) 09:11, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
- Compelling state interest -- Cleanup needed, compelling interest section of First amendment is inconsistent with Compelling state interest
- Computer crime Rewritten.
Country lawyer Rewritten. Ado2102 (talk) 06:37, 30 June 2015 (UTC)
- Copyright Term Extension Act - needs a lot more cites, cleanup
- Effective date and Coming into force - both desperately need clean-up and clarification. The ambiguity of these terms has implications for the content of Template:Infobox legislation.
- Insider trading -- especially international aspects
- George Michael Vs Sony
- Juris Doctor - neutrality of editors in dispute (whether JD is graduate degree and whether doctorate degree). Please comment.
- Jury nullification
- Merger guidelines -- desperately needs cleanup and expansion, very inaccurate
- Murder - needs cites, could become a GA with a bit of work. Would it be worthwhile to take the knotty legal issues out of this article and instead try to deal with them more clearly (and accurately) in separate articles by jurisdiction? There is significant chat on the talk page but I'm not sure how active it is. Would be willing to help as best I can but need guidance Shayday~enwiki (talk) 03:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC) SH
- Pendent party jurisdiction -- recently written stub, could use some work
- Toibb v. Radloff – court case – recently failed WP:GAN – needs a lot of work.
- Corporate law - the article has little coherence, and seems to suffer from a lack of defined purpose.
- Alford plea - The current page is extremely weak and lacks nuance. Most significantly, as discussed on its talk page, the definition section is repetitive and nigh unreadable and the commentary section reads more like a set of book jacket reviews than a critical discussion. I don't have the legal knowhow to really fix the page up, but I figure someone here does. Gazeboist (talk) 07:34, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
- Article clean up and references needed
Criminal Justice Act 1991 - article is utterly incomprehensible Done: Article has been expanded, and citations added. Davidkinnen (talk) 11:40, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- Perjury - not worldwide, needs citations
- Co-signing - cleanup, cites, very incomplete as of now
- Doing business as - cleanup [Cleanup started Fiona Marissa (talk) 01:04, 3 April 2018 (UTC)]
- Testator
- Class action
- Equity (law)
- Indemnity
- Missing heirs
- Trusts
- United States v. Baker
- Contingency fee
- Clear and present danger
- Rational basis review - the article is confusing and inaccurate
- Puerto Rico v. Shell Co. (P. R.), Ltd. - needs expansion and more references
- Postnuptial agreement
- Law of Palestine
- Maxims of equity Interesting article, however virtually uncited, making it impossible to know how accurate it is.
- High crimes and misdemeanours - In addition to spotty citations, there seems to be a substantial issue of contradiction in the article. See talk page for details
- Current law articles on peer review
- Reopened assessment department
- The assessment department has been defunct but now has been reopened with various glitches fixed. There are still a few minor improvements needed and are discussed on the talk page of the assessment department.
- Input on the assessment scheme from members of this WikiProject are needed to reach a consensus on whether to adopt C-class or not - currently, there is no consensus.
- Answer requests for comments

These are the current projects that the WikiProject Law is working on:
- Wikisource: If you're so inclined, please help with the importation of United States Supreme Court cases on our sister project, Wikisource. A bot is currently in the process of importing every Supreme Court decision from bulk.resource.org's collection of the United States Reports. The project is in need of people to assist in proofreading, editing, and disambiguating decisions added by the bot. WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases on Wikisource has information about formatting and other guidelines, as well as a to do list.
