A wiki that is good in court
7th Circuit Practitioners Guide Wiki
Hat tip to Anthony D. Williams for this one. Do not know the original source of quotes on Anthony’s post, but they are good.
Chief Judge Frank H. Easterbrook
As a group, the attorneys practicing before our court know more about appellate practice than any single person. With our wiki, we’re drawing on that wisdom.
I would consider legal arms of government and particularly the court system to be one the most risk adverse sections of government. Yet the US 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has used a wiki for their Practitioner’s Guide. From the looks of it, the wiki has been success, a great way of sharing the accumulated knowledge of number of a professional group people.
Quotes came from an article in The Third Branch the newsletter of the federal court.
