The National Law Journal today reports that the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has launched its own wiki, a first for the federal judiciary. The wiki will allow lawyers and judges to post and change notes on procedure and practice. It launches with the complete contents of the Seventh Circuit Practitioner’s Handbook. Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook, who spearheaded the project, told the NLJ:
“The goal is to concentrate on procedure (in both the court of appeals and the district courts) but not to cover substance. We aren’t interested in comments about the meaning of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code and will take down any pages that go beyond the scope of practice and procedure (including jurisdiction).”
As I noted here earlier this week, my Law Technology News article surveying legal wikis is currently available on Law.com Legal Technology.

Passed 106 bad checks while on State probation. That not one merchant turned in a bad check is highly unlikely. Used fake social security numbers on some bad checks.
The South Dakota Bar and SD Courts state this is common practice not to prosecute criminals on probation if they pass bad checks.
Judges take the law into their own hands or take kickbacks?
