The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago has set up a wiki. The wiki was the brainchild of Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook, who began the wiki by adding the contents from the Seventh Circuit Practitioner's Handbook and linking to the wiki from the 7th Circuit homepage. Judge Easterbrook said that the goal of the wiki is to concentrate on court procedure but not to cover substance, and that any pages that go beyond this scope of practice and procedure will be taken down. U.S. district judges from the 7th circuit held an annual meeting in Milwaukee this week, and Judge Easterbrook encouraged them to add their own pages about their procedures or preferences.
You can read more about the wiki in the May 8th edition of the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin available on Westlaw and Lexis (each requires a password).
