== [[Image:Gtk-dialog-info.svg|20px|About]] About WikiProject Law == |
|||
Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|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 [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law|talk page]] and see the [[Wikipedia:to-do list|to-do list]] below. |
|||
== [[Image:Namespace Wikipedia.svg|20px]] Scope == |
|||
This [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|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]], [[Will (law)|Wills]] and [[Trust (property)|Trusts]] |
|||
*[[Criminal law]] |
|||
*[[Public law]] |
|||
*[[Evidence (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: |
|||
[[Institutions System|Institutional System]] of the [[Roman empire|Roman]] jurist [[Gaius (jurist)|Gaius]]: |
|||
* [[Law of Persons]] (''personae'') |
|||
* [[Law of Things]] (''res'') |
|||
* Issues common to both parts (''actiones''). |
|||
[[Pandects|Pandectist System]]: |
|||
* General part |
|||
* [[Law of Obligation]] |
|||
* [[Law of Real Rights]] |
|||
* [[Family law|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy|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 [[right]]s |
