Law Wiki Project

Introduction

The Law Wiki is one of the many projects intended to be launched by the UP College of Law in time for its centennial celebration in 2011. Envisioned as an online editable database, as in Wikipedia but limited to the subject of law, the same will make law-related matters more accessible to law practitioners, academics, students, and the general public.

The contents of the Law Wiki will be generated by the students of the UP College of Law through coordination with the Professors in the College. Unlike other online law databases already present, the Law Wiki will not be an online repository of Philippine laws, but would seek to primarily give specific definitions of Philippine legal terms. Such terms will come from the different subjects required by the law curriculum. And to maintain the accurateness and reliability of the Law Wiki, the editorial policy to be adopted will be stringent in that only a limited number of people will have access.
