    Alphabetical list of Jurisimprudence Laws
    [info]jurisimprudence

    Note! The del.icio.us account is no longer being maintained--it has been replaced by the wiki(maintained by [info]lindentreeisle and myself), which is much more searchable. This list will stay here.


    From [info]ashenmote's original entry on 9/6/2005.
    Notes:
    'Lookatmyname's Law of alphabetical order' will be listed as 'Lookatmyname's alphabetical order law'

    Discarding the author names from the laws would result in a great number of laws called law, so I left the names in. Also, praise of the praiseworthy.

    'The Law of Theof overuse' reads as 'Theof overuse Law'

    Quotation marks were generously deleted (unless the Law in question deals with Quotation marks)

    Laws with more than one applicable names get separate entries for each name. These are marked like: 'First silly name Law [also: Second silly name law]'

    Corollaries & Additions only get an entry of their own when they aren't included in the original law entry. In this case, they look like this: 'Shadowfax Law, Treebeards rompty toom tum Corollary'

    Laws & entries without any suitable headword or name look questionable, thus they are adorned with ickle question marks and put below the proper laws


    On to the list!

    Jurisimprudence
    If you're not familiar with del.icio.us, it's a social bookmarking system, ie, you get an account and post bookmarks to it, and other people can see the bookmarks. 'Tags' can be assigned to the bookmarks, and can then be used to search for bookmarks on specific subjects etc.

    There's two ways to do searches by tags.
    First, you can go to the page of the account, scroll down the list of tags, and click the one you want. If you want to search for another tag within that list, scroll down the 'related tag' list and click the plus sign next to the one you want.
    Or, you can use a url such as http://del.icio.us/jurisimprudence/lord.of.the.rings to search for entries with the lord.of.the.rings tag. For multiple tags, such as lord.of.the.rings and movies, it would look like this: http://del.icio.us/jurisimprudence/lord.of.the.rings+movies which can be quicker if you're certain what the tags you want are.

    Tag system I'm using:
    Every word in the title, including 'law,' 'rule,' etc., but excluding 'a,' 'the,' 'of,' and so on.
    The name of the author of the law.
    If there's a post linked to in the JI post, the tag _link, the originating comm/board, the name of the fandom/whatever, and names anyone mentioned as being heavily involved.
    Fandom names are in the form Harry.Potter or Full.Metal.Alchemist or whatever.
    Any other tags that seem especially relevant or unique to me. For example, which entries involve punishments of being beaten with something? Where's that law that mentions Rhesus monkeys? Which ones mention mods? Etc.

    Different forms of words, closely related words, etc., may be used and might give different results. Compare: accusation, accusational, and accuse. Always a good idea to check nearby/similar words, too, if you don't find what you're looking for at first.

    Special tags:
    inversely
    directly
    proportional
    _link (for posts that link back to whatever inspired it)
    corollary (for posts with corollaries, or that are corollaries)
    _prescriptive _descriptive and _neither/either which aren't in the earlier entries yet because it only occured me after I'd gotten through half the alphabet. (Mostly so that when I'm finished I can look at the number of prescriptive vs descriptive laws.)

    Test post, to see if I have the method for posting an image right.
