"The Law Guide/FAQ" - Query. (1 Viewer)

[astroe]

I'm sure many of you would have noticed the Law guide/FAQ thing at the top of the page. I found it really informative and awesome in general, but it's incomplete and somewhat outdated in some respects.

The author has become a retired member and last signed-in in 2008, so it's unlikely she'll be back.

Does anyone know if it'll ever be completed or anything? (probs directed at moderators)
And as an extension, does anyone want to make their own/update/complete missing sections? (directed at everyone. )

I honestly think that it would be a brilliant read - if completed - judging from the informative and helpful stuff that already is in it.

A complete rewrite would undoubtedly be an epic task; in any case, most of the information is still relevant.

As for some of the missing sections:

Is it a 'nasty' profession?
The adversarial nature of our legal system means that practising law is necessarily competitive: each side wants to win the case. This does not--and should not--prevent reasoned and civilised argument.

Are lawyers jerks?
Are people jerks?

If anyone would like to add anything to it let me know because I have the power to do so but I do not have the time currently to re-write it.
