S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) and Anr. vs Union Of India And Ors. needs to be developed Sovereign citizen movement and pseudolaw may need to be revamped. Gommeh (talk/contribs) 20:58, 31 March 2025 (UTC) Tasks [edit] This list is transcluded from the tasks page, to edit it click here. Here are some tasks you can do for WikiProject Law: Page reorganization in progress We are currently seeking to impose a better organizational scheme to this page. Please see the Talk page for more information and to discuss. Also feel to jump right in and help with this project. See the top of an article's Talk page to determine its importance to WP:LAW. Articles listed on this "Tasks" page should have one or more cleanup tags (for the entire article or for sections). Cleanup tags are also known as "template messages", which are applied to a page using a cleanup template affixed to the top of the article. See a description of the cleanup process and a list of cleanup templates, also known as "template messages". Cleanup needed: Top-importance articles Articles in this section have been rated "Top-class" (also known as "Top-importance") on the WikiProject Law Importance scale. Case law Murder - needs cites, could become a GA with a bit of work. Would it be worthwhile to take the knotty legal issues out of this article and instead try to deal with them more clearly (and accurately) in separate articles by jurisdiction? There is significant chat on the talk page but I'm not sure how active it is. Would be willing to help as best I can but need guidance Shayday~enwiki (talk) 03:17, 10 June 2016 (UTC) SH Cleanup needed: High-importance articles Articles in this section have been rated "High-class" (also known as "High-importance") on the WikiProject Law Importance scale. Cleanup needed: Mid-importance articles Articles in this section have been rated "Mid-class" (also known as "Mid-importance") on the WikiProject Law Importance scale. Agency (law) Bioprospecting Government interest Online Legal Marketplace Lawyer referral service - Moved to this category on 27 Jan 2020; Article name corrected; C-class; citations needed.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 15:13, 27 January 2020 (UTC) Cleanup needed: Low-importance articles Articles in this section have been rated "Low-class" (also known as "Low-importance") on the WikiProject Law Importance scale. Merger guidelines - See "multiple issues" cleanup tag at the top of the article. (cleanup tag added on 2 Jun 2019) Pendent party jurisdiction - Incomplete, confusing article. Should be deleted if not improved. (2 Jun 2019) Toibb v. Radloff – court case – recently failed WP:GAN in 2008 – needs a lot of work. (moved to this category on 27 Jan 2020)   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 14:51, 27 January 2020 (UTC) Digital Services Act - Incomplete, needs to be expanded and cleaned up. Could look at Digital Markets Act article for comparison. James Tamim (talk) 21:15, 12 April 2021 (UTC) Cleanup needed: Unknown-importance articles Articles in this section have been rated "Unknown-class" (also known as "Unknown-importance") on the WikiProject Law Importance scale. The Doctrine of the General Talking Pictures Case - check for conformity to Wikipedia style Effective date and Coming into force - The ambiguity of these terms has implications for the content of Template:Infobox legislation. (Note that the "Effective Date" article is currently Unassessed and is not listed as of interest to WikiProject Law. Articles added to Tasks page, but do not contain any Cleanup tags These articles were placed on this Tasks page at some time in the past. They might require cleanup of some kind, but since they do not contain any cleanup tags their status is unclear. See a description of the cleanup process and a list of cleanup templates. (Cleanup tags are also known as "cleanup messages" or "template messages"). Copyright Term Extension Act - No cleanup tags. Insider trading - No cleanup tags, and it is not listed as of interest to WikiProject Law. Panayiotou v Sony Music Entertainment (UK) Ltd (was "George Michael vs Sony") - No cleanup tags, and it is not listed as of interest to WikiProject Law. Alford plea - The current page is extremely weak and lacks nuance. Most significantly, as discussed on its talk page, the definition section is repetitive and nigh unreadable and the commentary section reads more like a set of book jacket reviews than a critical discussion. I don't have the legal knowhow to really fix the page up, but I figure someone here does. Gazeboist (talk) 07:34, 7 January 2019 (UTC) Moved to this category on 27 Jan 2020. I agree with Gazeboist's assessment. I changed the WP:LAW quality rating from B-class to C-class.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 14:51, 27 January 2020 (UTC) Articles added to Tasks page, but have since improved Corporate law - the article has little coherence, and seems to suffer from a lack of defined purpose. As of 27 Jan 2020 - WP:LAW B-class.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 14:51, 27 January 2020 (UTC) List of notable United Kingdom House of Lords cases - Moved from Missing topics to this category on 27 Jan 2020.   - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I'm a man—traditional male pronouns are fine.) 15:29, 27 January 2020 (UTC) In process The articles below have not yet been reviewed to determine their proper placement in the new organizational scheme. You can help by determining the article's importance to WikiProject Law and then moving it to the appropriate section above. (2 Jun 2019) Missing topics Selective publication – a process by which courts (especially appellate courts) in common-law systems (such as the United States) decide which decisions should be published. If I understand correctly, only published decisions are binding precedent; rules vary as to whether unpublished decisions have persuasive authority, or have no precedential value at all. (draft stub) Rule of criminative circumstances (Scotland) In need of elaboration Dualism (law) - I'm suprised this didn't have an article until i wrote a stub just now; now a redirect... Armed Forces (Parliamentary Approval for Participation in Armed Conflict) Bill Assisted person Partnership (UK) Demonstrative evidence Immigration law Trade Agreements Act of 1979 European Cooperative Society Mudge Rose Guthrie Alexander & Ferdon - a now defunct white shoe law firm Edward B. Burling - a name partner of Covington & Burling Harper & Row v. Nation Enterprises - landmark fair use case in the United States Computer assisted legal research - I have put in some sections and started putting in content. I would be grateful for your comments/contribution. Shayday~enwiki (talk) 13:51, 16 June 2016 (UTC) Leegin Creative Leather Products, Inc. v. PSKS, Inc. - Supreme Court decision which rules that vertical price fixing can be legal. Important from a consumer rights and competition angle. Article clean up and references needed Perjury - not worldwide, needs citations Co-signing - cleanup, cites, very incomplete as of now Doing business as - cleanup [Cleanup started Fiona Marissa (talk) 01:04, 3 April 2018 (UTC)] Testator Class action Equity (law) Indemnity Missing heirs Trusts United States v. Baker Contingency fee Clear and present danger Rational basis review - the article is confusing and inaccurate Puerto Rico v. Shell Co. (P. R.), Ltd. - needs expansion and more references Postnuptial agreement Law of Palestine Maxims of equity Interesting article, however virtually uncited, making it impossible to know how accurate it is. High crimes and misdemeanors - In addition to spotty citations, there seems to be a substantial issue of contradiction in the article.

A bot is currently in the process of importing every Supreme Court decision from bulk.resource.org's collection of the United States Reports. The project is in need of people to assist in proofreading, editing, and disambiguating decisions added by the bot. WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases on Wikisource has information about formatting and other guidelines, as well as a to do list. —— New article requests   Main page: Requested Law articles If there is a legal subject that you feel needs to be covered, but hasn't, please add it to the needed article list by clicking here.
