Guidelines[edit]

1. Please put in excerpts of articles that you think should be featured in the next available slots, with a link to the article under:

[[Article Name|'''(more...)]]

...after the text. The pages for weeks that need new articles are the ones in red. Simple!

2. Please put this at the bottom of every article excerpt that is rotated in:

<div class="noprint" align="center">'''[[Portal:Law/former selections|Archive]]''' - [[Portal_talk:Law/former_selections|'''Add next article''']] </div>

This puts a link at the bottom of each portal box for the previously selected articles, cases, pictures and statutes and a link for this page, for people to select the next articles. If this doesn't happen, then the whole rotation thing seems to get abandoned!

Rotated articles in 2006[edit]

Beginning in 2006, we are automating the rotation of new articles. The following lists key links (in bold) and sublinks the that will redirect to the key links, so we will have a staggered four-week rotation of our four selection areas.

Law enforcement and the lack of it![edit]

Consilium consueta ignotus lex legis.

A Latin term meaning roughly "Councils usual ignorance of legislation." It is clear that some governments are deliberately evasive of law enforcement. Such as the term above is trying to describe. In Victoria, Australia, State legislation by way of the Local Government Act determines that local governments can make local laws, but they must not be inconsistent with the intent of state legislation. This is totally ignored by local governments not only in Australia, but by animal control authorities around the world. Dog attacks and barking issues persist in our communities at the lack of care or concern for proper laws or their enforcement. The Health Act AND the Domestic (Feral and Nuisance) Animals Acts are being ignored in Victoria and the amount of effort to try and have the state laws enforced to the letter of the law is impossible. Terms in law such as "reasonable" can render any law unenforceable as clarification of what is "reasonable" could be argued eternally.
