[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Law

Hi Adam, the law project is a little quiet, people just tend to get on with their own thing. But there's plenty to do; List of notable United Kingdom House of Lords cases is full of redlinks to be filled out. If you need to know how to write a case, R v Bailey was nearly a good article but lacked secondary sources from textbooks. Criminal damage in English law is our most recent Good Article if you want to get some pointers about how to write up topics. Let me know if yuo need any help, but there are few people writing up UK law articles. Cheers! --Rodhullandemu 22:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, you just start the article. If you click on a redlink, it will open up a page from which you can start the article, and you write it following a fairly standard format. There are guidelines on the Law project page, and templates like {{crimlaw}} that put standard info into the article. There are also categories like English case law and Category:1999 in law to list and organise these articles in various ways. Best thing is just to take a look round and see how it's done already. If you're starting an article from scratch, it's wise to check that it doesn't already exist otherwise you could waste a lot of time. The categories here help you to track down articles. It can be daunting to begin with but it's easiest, I found, just to get on with it. There's nothing that really can't be undone, so you're not going to bring the world to its knees just by having a go. You don't submit articles as such, just start them. Hope that helps. --Rodhullandemu 23:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
