Talk:Civil procedure

message: First paragraph is really about US civil procedure. To show how silly it could get if made POV, I have added England and Wales items. I would welcome some idea as to how to proceed with this. Not everywhere is the US and its wikipedia policy to reflect this. It would be nice if the legal articles weren't so POV, but I can't see how to avoid it without US articles being separated out and a shorter much more general article being put in their stead.

thread_title: Where's the [[res judicata]]

message: Repeating my comment on the FRCP page:
This is probably a larger undertaking than I have time for at present (hurray law school exams) but at some point soon the references to the FRCP should be updated to reflect the new "pain language" revisions that took effect Dec 1, 2007.

thread_title:  'Civil procedure' accompanied with 'Civil procedure in U.S.' template?! 

message: I have found that English Wikipedia does not have an article about enforcement of court decisions in general. For example, in Russian law there are such terms as исполнительное производство (civil court decisions enforcement procedure) and обращение взыскания на имущество (recovery against property, i.e. seizure and sale of the debtor's assets). Are there relevant general English legal concepts? Would it make sence to have a general article about them (rules in different countries, etc.)?

replies: text: Yes, there certainly are rules about enforcement of judgments. I suspect that any general, rather than country specific, article risks being original research. One way to start motivating such a general page would be to get specific pages written and then it would be much easier to write something that adopted a world-wide perspective. Its the kind of thing that would be useful as a series of pages 1/jurisdiction. Why not be bold and write up something for the Russian rules? Put a link here and encourage interested parties to look from this web page at what you've produced - we may have ideas about a useful common structure. Sounds exciting anyway and would be one way of making civil procedure articles less difficult to write by separating a discrete and coherent set of rules elsewhere.

thread_title: Enforcement of court decisions 

message: This section is really terrible. It seems to contradict itself ("Criminal and civil procedure are the same." vs. "Most countries make a clear distinction between civil and criminal procedure."). It's also generally poorly-written with odd phraseology and sentence structure. I'm certain its wrong in places (American criminal courts award restitution all the time, and I'm pretty sure the prosecution asks the courts to do so routinely).
I think I actually lost knowledge trying to read it. I'd reckon it needs complete revision by an expert.98.17.202.244 (talk) 21:56, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
