Article 1:
Legal Research 2.0: The Power of a Million Attorneys

Traditional legal scholarship has not embraced collaborative efforts. Generally, a single professor, or a small group of professors, writes an article alone. Then the article is disseminated to the public in the publishing process. On the other hand, the Internet has launched a collaborative revolution among Computer Scientists. Our study proposes that it is time for legal scholars to start realizing the benefits of massive collaboration over the Internet. This paper begins by detailing successful Internet driven collaborations to demonstrate the potential advantages an author may derive from opening a legal paper to the public during the authorship process. In Part III, this paper explains the factors that make massively collaborative projects successful. The paper concludes by detailing the authors’ attempt to design their own collaborative legal project, The Wiki Legal Journal. Computer Scientists have realized the revolutionary potential of collaborative authorship for over ten years. Our hope is that collaboration will infuse a similar creativity boost into legal scholarship.
