Canadian / U.S. Law Outline Wiki

As posted on Law is Cool, a new Wikipedia-type site for law outlines has been created by law students at Queen's University. Law students across Canada and the USA can post to the wiki, which works just like Wikipedia; anybody can post and anybody can edit. What do you think? This could be a great opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas. Anybody here at Pace would like to become a part of it? Check out the post and let us know what you think!
