: New York Civil LawOld New York Civil Law Poll About the Wikipedia
The old poll that I posted had surprising results. The poll asked this question: Would you cite the Wikipedia for a non-legal point in a legal document such as a motion submission or appellate brief?
75% stated that he or she would not, and 25% stated that he or she would. This might come as a surprise to you; there are over 100 reported cases in 2007 that cite to the Wikipedia. Food for thought.
In any event, please vote in NYCL's new poll about the Court of Appeals.
