More Legal Wikis
Robert Ambrogi has an article in Law.com's Legal Technology News about the proliferation of legal wikis, "Legal Wikis Are Bound to Wow You." For the as yet uninitiated, a wiki is a type of website that allows users to contributed, delete, or revise existing content. The best known example is likely the collaborative encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
Ambrogi lists a number of legal wikis. I found the following particularly intriguing:
"Death Penalty Wiki. Started by California lawyer Mike Cernovich, co-author of the blog Crime & Federalism, this attempts to maintain a collaboratively edited log of death penalty cases. "
"JurisPedia. This encyclopedia of world law is a project of law schools in France, Vietnam, Netherlands, Germany and Canada. It contains more than 300 articles available in seven languages."
"Wikiocracy. What happens when you put the law in the hands of the people? That is the question underlying this site, where citizens can rewrite actual laws or create their own. "
"Wiki Law School. Think of this as CliffsNotes for the collaboration generation. The purpose is to provide outlines of all law school topics. "
