Companies law

Hi Conant, thanks for your input on the page - I could really use your help, as you say on your profile you're experienced in US law. On definitions, I think it's a good idea to aim for unified pages where we can, but you're right that sometimes terminology across the Atlantic doesn't wash both ways - have you come across this new book, Anatomy of Corporate Law, written by academics in the States, Germany, Japan, the UK and Switzerland? It's a very good cross section of it all, and I thought therefore that splitting the titles of "Companies law" for all the different firms forms from "Corporate law" for (what we'd call in the UK "Company law") limited liability firms with separate legal personality would be the way to go. On the Business organizations page, I just had the feeling that the ground covered was what (should?) could be in the Companies law page. After all, most of us can grasp which words others apply to the same things. Would be glad to hear your thoughts. Wik idea 22:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

FINRA

Hi. Since your creation of FINRA preceded the day one activities, I am wondering if you are a lawyer connected to FINRA. If you are, can you help by providing a FINRA logo for the article? I checked the press room of finra.org but was unable to locate a press package that included released versions of the new logo.

Thanks - Tεx τ urε 15:07, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have no connection with FINRA. --Conant Webb 15:25, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, well. Thanks. I'll track something down. - Tεx τ urε 15:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Conant Webb

Hi, Conant Webb. I was wondering if you would be interested in joining WikiProject Law or WikiProject Supreme Court cases. We can always use more lawyers around here, because there seems to be a dearth of people on Wikipedia with professional legal experience. Personally, I haven't been quite as active lately, because I just finished taking the bar exam. But do please let me know if you are interested. --Eastlaw 21:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Hornbook -- a new WP:Law task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Conant Webb,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

Each casebook will have a subpage.

Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Better source request for File:Cftcseal.gif

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:
