I would like to see an article entitled Meaning (legal) that would summarize the history and concepts based on Original meaning and the Plain Meaning Rule (for instance). I notice that the law-related article Special meaning has been summarily deleted by someone: 2007-07-30T17:06:24 Mikkalai deleted "Special meaning" (nonspecific word combination. content was: 'Special meaning refers to the fixed or limited meaning allowed by law to be given to a word, phrase or expression in specific circumstances ...')

I have no legal background whatever, so I don't really have any good perspective on a minor dispute at Moot court. A new user, user:Jimdugan wants to press the case for an external web-site, which looks to me like spamvertising. May I invite further opinions at talk:Moot court. -- John Maynard Friedman 12:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Recently having read the term "joint inquest" in an Agatha Christie novel, I´ve checked it in my Langentscheidt as well as in my PONS English-German dictionary, but I could only find the word "inquest" there. So I´d like to know whether "joint inquest" is the correct legal form, short "inquest", or whether there is a real difference in re. 91.21.61.246 13:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I would like to invite all to kindly review and suggest changes needed to the article M.C.Mehta v. Kamal Nath, which dealt with the Public trust doctrine for the first time in India. Thanks LegalEagle 13:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
You may wish to add these to the Did you know? part of the portal, to be rotated through. It's up to you folks. Cheers, Cirt 07:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC).

The Prop 8 article currently discusses the legal challenges to and the CA Supreme Court ruling regarding the proposition. The article discusses a challenge to the proposition based on it being a constitutional revision rather than an amendment. Constitutional revision currently redirects to Constitution, but the latter article doesn't seem to specifically explain what a revision is. Might I ask someone to clarify this? Many thanks. MrBell ( talk) 18:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC) 15 years ago I was 13 years old; I AM now- 28; At this facility I was put in the padded room for 93 days with nothing but a blue paper gown, A cold floor, no matt to lay on, No pillow, simply put: I was tortured at this facility.

Hi - I am interested in Tony Honorés concept of ownership, which I learned as 'Badges or Incidents of Ownership'. However, though Honoré's work is cited several times as "seminal" I could not find an article about the concept, nor is it explored in the article Ownership. Would anybody be so kind to fill in the perceived gap? Yotwen ( talk) 07:08, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to propose that the format for selected content is standardised using a template I have made. I've listed this intention here to allow for discussion before I change the existing selected content entries to avoid having to revert all the changes due to a problem in the template I have missed, for example. Michael An on 17:28, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to propose that the lists of selected content and the nomination pages are merged due to the amount of duplication that exists. Portal:Law/Nominate/Selected article would therefore contain a list of selected articles as it presently does, but would have instructions, perhaps in a collapsed box at the top of the page, about how to add more selected content to the page. Michael An on 08:06, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to propose another set of changes to the Law Portal. I'm not entirely sure whether approval is encouraged or even required ( WP:GLC seems a little contradictory on the point), but as I'd like to delete some pages as uncontroversial maintenance it would help to show that there are (hopefully) no major objections to the changes.
I look forward to receiving feedback. Michael An on 07:35, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Started this article, but not sure what the proper English term is. I see 126 articles on Wikipedia that use the term Ministerial decree. But in the UK it is called a Ministerial Order (United Kingdom). I reckon, this is the name for a Ministerial decree in this judiciary? Timelezz ( talk) 22:14, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

With the news of Scalia's passing, I decided to browse what WP has on Strict Constructionism, and I noticed that it's not part of WikiProject Law. Anyone care to remedy that? It could also use some improvement by an expert... 204.145.225.29 ( talk) 05:58, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
This article is a complete mess and is in need of an expert or at least someone with a minimum of understanding of the topic. It defines its subject as a certain body of law and as the study of it and as part of what it calls "companies law", which is probably not even grammatically correct and would or should have an article of its own if corporate law were indeed "a part of a broader companies law" (sic). In fact, "companies law" is a redirect to itself, and the article is also a redirect from "corporations law".
The article also has other links to itself, which indicates more confusion in its scope and content, perhaps due to incorrect mergers or moves:
The most prominent kind of company, usually referred to as a "corporation", is a "juristic person", i.e. it has separate legal personality, and those who invest money into the business have limited liability for any losses the company makes, governed by corporate law. -- Espoo ( talk) 15:26, 19 November 2017 (UTC)
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:35, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
These articles do not mention each other or explain the difference between these concepts. More specifically, solicitation to commit a crime seems to be exactly the same thing as incitement to commit a crime. In addition, the article on solicitation talks about solicitation to murder when it should apparently be talking about the more general crime of solicitation to commit a crime of violence https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/373 . -- Espoo ( talk) 11:16, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Substantial efforts are underway to drastically reduce the number of portals on Wikipedia (see, e.g., Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Proposal to delete Portal space; numerous nominations for portal deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion). I propose that merging Portal:English law into Portal:Law would create a substantially more defensible portal for coverage of the topic and subtopic involved. bd2412 T 01:37, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I further propose that Portal:Law and Portal:Society should be merged into a new portal, Portal:Law and society. There is no low without society, and no society without law. That portal is to replace Portal:Society as a Main page-linked portal. I dream that in this merge, substantial redevelopment will occur, retaining the pleasant look of portals, but gaining the comprehensive navigation possibilities present within the category system. For the purpose of drawing from the category system, I note that the category system is very lax with inclusion criteria as the depth becomes large. Category:Law sort of contains a sensible selection of top level law topics, but the discipline is poor, criteria undefined, and if you go deep, you can sometimes find surprising things. However, mostly it is pretty good. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 00:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC) This further proposal stems from a discussion at Talk:Main Page#Add Portal:Law to the list of portals displayed on the homepage. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 00:13, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
obviously wrong" if you provided some explanation of why you believe that it's so obvious. But bare assertion carries no weight with me.
Rather than having a featured image on the page with a constant rotation of images pulled from a subpage, I have put thumbnails of all of our featured images on the main page. Let me know what you think. Cheers! bd2412 T 16:57, 13 October 2019 (UTC)
It has been noted recently that two recurring problems of portals are that they are difficult to edit due to complicated structures invoking subpages, and that they tend to lack an explanation of how featured content gets selected for the portal. I propose that we create an instructional subpage for this explaining how to add new content and setting standards and a procedure for selecting such content. bd2412 T 00:37, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
We should also outline some principles for building Portal:Law/Selected anniversaries, which was created some time ago but lacks content, and is not presently shown on the portal. I have created Portal:Law/Selected anniversaries/April from information on the pages for the individual pages. bd2412 T 04:15, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
Another thing that I would like to outline is a principle for achieving balanced representation. I think we should say something along the lines of:
Because this is the English-language Wikipedia, content may tend to favor the legal regimes of English-speaking, which tend to adhere to common law principles. In particular, it is recognized that many common law principles originate in English law, and were dispersed therefrom through English colonization of other countries. However, this portal should also provide some representation of law and legal systems from other system and originating in other countries.
Cheers! BD2412 T 03:51, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
I have recently close a discussion on merging Portal:English law into this page. Pinging those who expressed an interest in helping merge things BD2412, UnitedStatesian. Per my close, and BHG's oppose, do make sure that the resulting portal is of higher, not lower, quality due to the merge. Ideally, this subheading should serve as a good place to discuss the merge if need be. Smooth sailing, Captain Eek Edits Ho Cap'n! ⚓ 05:18, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
It's reasonable to say the whole essence of law is to protect what is already inherent in man.Law doesn't give man his right,but recognizes it and ensure there will be no need for the deprivation of those right.Man is the centerpiece of what law is and seeks to achieve. Its also beneficial to say that anytime the essence and nature of law is being discussed,we invariably talk about the nature of humanity.In the light of this,law is subjected to the control of man and not otherwise and if law is not aimed at protecting our right,we revolt.

Its also beneficial to say that anytime the essence and nature of law is being discussed,we invariably talk about the nature of humanity.In the light of this,law is subjected to the control of man and not otherwise and if law is not aimed at protecting our right,we revolt.
