Welcome to the JD curriculum task force of WikiProject Law

CASEBOOK subpages
This list seeks to group casebooks into the recognizable categories of course title & year. Please propose potentially confusing changes at the talk page.

I think we might eventually settle for broader categories, e.g. "corporate classes," "1L classes," "constitutional classes", "intellectual property," "international law," "litigation," etc.

1L Classes
 * Contracts
 * Civil Procedure
 * Constitutional Law
 * Criminal Law
 * Torts
 * Property
 * 1L Legal methods courses

Upperclass electives
 * Administrative law
 * Admiralty
 * Antitrust
 * Bankruptcy
 * Conflict of laws
 * Copyright
 * Corporate finance
 * Corporations


 * Employment law
 * Environmental law
 * Evidence
 * Federal courts
 * Federal income taxation
 * First Amendment
 * Immigration
 * Indian law


 * Insurance law
 * Law and economics
 * Legislation
 * Patents
 * Professional Responsibility
 * Real Estate Transactions
 * Trademarks
 * Trusts and estates

Resources
Young caselaw articles should, at bare minimum, consist of case briefs. WP:SCOTUS employs the following article outline, and we should not diverge from it without their consensus. (In the long run, WP:LAW should have a "manual of style task force"/"Wikibluebook task force", whose members determine the standards for article layout, citation usage, template usage, etc. for all law-related content.)

Featured/Good content
Since few of our articles are of broad public interest, I currently feel (July 28 2009) that we should be aiming to bring articles up to "Good Article" status. Once we establish a consensus on the discussion page, we'll revise this text to be more objective.
