It is built upon [http://www.mediawiki.org the MediaWiki Wiki Engine], so the mechanics of searching and editing our content are very similar to a large number of other wikis out there on the internet. Here is a primer to get you started:


The main purpose of this wiki is to provide outlines for all legal topics you will learn about in law school. All are invited and encouraged to participate in the editing process, thus resulting in the most complete and accurate outlines around.
===Searching===


This site will be a great resource for law students preparing for final exams. We anticipate that the legal outlines will be helpful, but even more so will be participation in the discussion and editing process of the outlines. As you go through your class notes, you will compare them to the outlines to fill in the gaps in your notes. You will be able to discuss with fellow students around the country about what the law is. You will scrutinize the current outline, correcting any mistakes or adding to any topics. By actively working on the outlines contained herein, you will be able to improve your own understanding of the legal topics.
For information on the search box functions, please see [[Wiki Law School:Searching]].


As the Wiki Law School community grows, we will get better and better! Once we reach a critical mass, each outline will receive more attention from many individuals, which will help all of us. You can help us grow (and by extension, help yourself learn and study) by telling your fellow law students about us. [[Spread the word]]!
===Editing/Creating Articles===
 
If you want to learn how to create a new outline or article, please see [[Help:Starting a new page]].
 
For editing how-to information, please see the [[Help:Formatting|editing help]] page.
 
We invite you to join in our editing process. Go ahead and find an outline in a topic you enjoy or did well in, and start editing. If you cannot find such an article on the wiki, please feel free to start it from scratch (but please search under similar terms first to determine if an outline for the subject exists under a different title).
 
'''Please note''': Due to excessive spamming, we have restricted the ability to create and edit pages to logged-in users. Please '''[[Special:CreateAccount|create a (free!) account]]''' or '''[[Special:UserLogin|log in]]''' to create or edit a page.
