Get Involved in the Lawi Project

This collaborative website sponsored by the Law Journal. We want strongly to encourage feedback, responses, additional bibliography, and commentary from as many readers as possible.

This entire project is work in progress, and comments on any aspect of it are very welcome. You can annotate individual paragraphs, whole posts, or leave general comments.

We are a firm believer in open-access publishing and experimenting with new forms of peer review and digital publishing.

You can follow updates for the book via Twitter, Facebook, or an email list for announcements. I hope to see you in the margins of the book!

Contribution to the Encyclopedia wiki FAQs

Contributing to Lawi is very easy. There are many ways to make a difference, but it’s sometimes difficult to find your way. This page tries to give directions.

Why should I contribute to the Encyclopedia of Law?

If you are reading this page, you are probably already using Debian, so you already know part of the answer. Lawi is really a fantastic project to work on. Lawi gathers many contributors from all over the world, all dedicated to building a high-quality and free law Encyclopedy.
