| May 11, 2015 at 21:43 | comment | added | Andre | We need the ability to tag broader swathes of jurisdictions as well though. Within the common law, there are many newer areas (eg, Unjust Enrichment), where there is plenty of cross-border influence from various commonwealth jurisdictions- Canada, Australia, Scotland, England+Wales, Singapore, India, Hong Kong etc. | |
| Mar 24, 2015 at 20:47 | comment | added | Francis Davey | Good idea, though of course it is complex. For example where I sit the law of contract applies in my jurisdiction (England and Wales), but the law of unfair dismissal applies to Great Britain and that of immigration to the UK. Subsistence of copyright is EU wide :-). | |
| Mar 8, 2015 at 18:17 | comment | added | chapka | This sounds like a good idea, although for this site "Jurisdiction" might be a better term than "Locale." This would allow for more useful distinctions: for example, some questions might be tagged "US (Federal)" and others "Pennsylvania". | |
| Feb 25, 2015 at 19:44 | comment | added | aebabis | @AngeloNeuschitzer To answer your second question, I'm under the impression you can have synonym tags, meaning we could have both English and German? If not, then I would guess they should all be in English. The reason is that StackExchange's response to popular languages in the past has been to make new sites; there might be a German Law SE someday. | |
| Feb 25, 2015 at 19:41 | comment | added | aebabis | @AngeloNeuschitzer I don't think there's a single answer to your first question. It would be up to the judgment of the asker and the mods to determine the scope of the question. Hopefully the asker has a vague idea of the difference between national and local laws; and if they falsely assume that the question has the same answer everywhere in their country, then correcting them should be part of the answer. | |
| Feb 25, 2015 at 11:14 | comment | added | Angelo Fuchs | How narrow would you create that "locale" tags? Country (US/UK/D/F/RUS/...), State (Oregon, Bavaria, Brittany, Zabaykalsky, Cork,...) or even narrower where applicable? If the latter we need to figure out how to handle double-meanings (Georgia for example). Should we use the locales as used by locals (Deutschland) or in English (Germany)? | |
