From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here are some tasks you can do for WikiProject Law:


Page reorganization in progress

[edit]

We are currently seeking to impose a better organizational scheme to this page. Please see the Talk page for more information and to discuss. Also feel to jump right in and help with this project.

  • See the top of an article's Talk page to determine its importance to WP:LAW.
  • Articles listed on this "Tasks" page should have one or more cleanup tags (for the entire article or for sections). Cleanup tags are also known as "template messages", which are applied to a page using a cleanup template affixed to the top of the article. See a description of the cleanup process and a list of cleanup templates, also known as "template messages".

Cleanup needed: Top-importance articles

[edit]

Articles in this section have been rated "Top-class" (also known as "Top-importance") on the WikiProject Law Importance scale.

  • Case law
  • 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[reply]

Articles added to Tasks page, but do not contain any Cleanup tags

[edit]

These articles were placed on this Tasks page at some time in the past. They might require cleanup of some kind, but since they do not contain any cleanup tags their status is unclear. See a description of the cleanup process and a list of cleanup templates. (Cleanup tags are also known as "cleanup messages" or "template messages").

Moved to this category on 27 Jan 2020. I agree with Gazeboist's assessment. I changed the WP:LAW quality rating from B-class to C-class.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 14:51, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Articles added to Tasks page, but have since improved

In process

[edit]

The articles below have not yet been reviewed to determine their proper placement in the new organizational scheme. You can help by determining the article's importance to WikiProject Law and then moving it to the appropriate section above. (2 Jun 2019)

  • Missing topics
    • Selective publication – a process by which courts (especially appellate courts) in common-law systems (such as the United States) decide which decisions should be published. If I understand correctly, only published decisions are binding precedent; rules vary as to whether unpublished decisions have persuasive authority, or have no precedential value at all. (draft stub)
    • Rule of criminative circumstances (Scotland)
