Portal:Law/Maintenance

This is the maintenance page for Portal:Law. The goal of this page is to insure that all content displayed on the portal is of high quality, highly relevant to the topic of the portal, and is kept factually correct and up-to-date. One means of assuring that content remains current is to change from static copies of article text to transclusions of the lead paragraphs of text, which is therefore recommended for articles with text conducive to this treatment.

Every item of content displayed in this portal should be checked for currency and accuracy at least once per year.

Note that 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.
