ContributingThis is a featured page

The articles available for editing are in the Articles page on this site. We have decided to use thinkFree's (http://www.thinkfree.com)online word processor to create legal articles collaboratively. This word processor works pretty much exactly like word so once you get access it should be pretty easy to use.

For better or worse, legal writing is a bit different than everyday writing. Unless it's common knowledge, most things you say in legal writings require giving credit to the source. Lawyers want to have a citation after most sentences to ensure accuracy. So if you decide to change something in a draft, please cite to a relevant source.

Finding Legal SourcesContributing - The Wiki Legal Journal
If you are a law student or have access to either Westlaw or LexisNexis, then those databases will provide virtually unlimited information. For everyone else, please check out the following sites:
  1. http://www.vlex.us/
  2. http://findlaw.com/
  3. http://www.lexisone.com/caselaw/freecaselaw
  4. http://wikipedia.org

Further, there are many articles and that can be found throughout the Internet so do not forget to try Google or your favorite search engine.
