Subproject content begun by User:jsgoodrich Please feel free to help/modify. The goal of this division/subproject is to help improve the law of Michigan page on Wikipedia. As a Michigan Attorney, I had a potential client bring me a printout from a Wiki page that had outdated information. I am hoping there are enough people who can help build this subproject.

There are several areas of Michigan Law that are on Wikipedia that are out of date and missing or incorrect information. Basic information about the courts in Michigan have not even had pages created.

I think the best place to start is with the Michigan Consitution and work down from there.

• The Constitution of Michigan page needs to be updated.
• The Law of Michigan articles need to have several of the topics made into pages.
• The Man Michigan Law Pages need work/created
  • Michigan Compiled Laws
  • Michigan Register
  • Michigan Administriave Code

We need to get the list of courts and what jurisdiction they have.

• Michigan Supreme Court Would love for this article to be a GA rated article by July 4, 2024
• Michigan Court of Appeals
• Michigan Circuit Courts
• Michigan district courts
• Michigan Court of Claims
• Michigan Office of Administrative Hearings and Rules
• Michigan Tax Tribunal
• Michigan Probate Court

Agencies that support Michigan Court functions that need articles.

• Michigan State Appellate Defender Office (SADO)
• Michigan Indigent Defense Commission
• Michigan State Court Administrative Office
• Michigan Board of Law Examiners
• State Bar of Michigan
• Michigan Institute of Continuing Legal Education
• Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission
• Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission

Standardizing and updating articles Information

I created two info boxes to help standardize articles. If you are working on an article that does not have it's own info box and it is about a Michigan Law subject, please add the Michigan Law Template. If you are working on a Michigan Supreme Court Case, please add that Info box.

When working on creating articles for court cases make sure to follow BlueBook legal referencing style and on the talk page place this.

This article follows the Law Manual of Style. It uses the Bluebook legal referencing style. This citation style uses standardized abbreviations, such as "N.Y. Times" for The New York Times, and has specific typeface formatting requirements. Please review those standards before making style or formatting changes. Information on this referencing style may be obtained at: Cornell's Basic Legal Citation site.

If you are working an article that deals with the law of Michigan please make sure we are adding to the talk page both the Michigan Project and the Law Project. This way we can pull resources from both projects to make the article the best it can be.
