Wiki143:WikiProject Law

“ Template:Trim quotes ” — Justinian Institutiones 1:3 (533) About 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. File:Namespace Wikipedia.svg 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. The common law 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: Contract law Tort law Property law, including Real property, Wills and Trusts Criminal law Public law Evidence Civil codes Equally vital is a comprehensive explanation of the most widespread type of law, law based on civil code. The categories of civil code often have complete one-to-one equivalents in common law, but the major areas are generally classified by one of two systems: Institutional System of the Roman jurist Gaius: Law of Persons (personae) Law of Things (res) Issues common to both parts (actiones). Pandectist System: General part Law of Obligation Law of Real Rights Family Law Law of Inheritance 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! The Philosophy of law 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: Jurisprudence Natural law Legal realism Legal formalism Legal positivism Legal system The notion of rights File:Nuvola apps kdmconfig.png Participants You can join this project by adding your name on the participants list and placing the Template:Tl template on your user page.
