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".

Articles in this section have been rated "Top-class" (also known as "Top-importance") on the WikiProject 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

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").
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.

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.

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precedent; rules vary as to whether unpublished decisions have persuasive authority, or have no precedential value at all.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)
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. See talk page for details
