Take a look at your bundle of tags on Delicious. Would you ever believe you’re going to change the law with a handful of them? You’re going to change the way you research the law. The way you apply it. The way you teach it and, in doing so, shape the minds of future lawyers.

Do you think I’m going too far? Maybe. But don’t overlook the way taxonomies have changed the law and shaped lawyers’ minds so far. We, the lawyers, have used extensively taxonomies through the years; Civil lawyers in particular have shown to be particularly prone to them. Taxonomies help legal research. First, taxonomies help us retrieve what we’ve stored (rules and case law). Are you looking for a rule about a sales contract? If you are a Common Lawyer, and ignore the perverse pleasure of browsing through Civil Code taxonomy, you’ll probably know Westlaw’s classification and its key numbering system. The problem with legal taxonomies. But let’s take my friend Tim; he doesn’t have a legal education. You got it?
