In articles with topics that cover multiple jurisdictions, such as multiple states or multiple countries, aim to provide a general overview for all jurisdictions. Indicate the legal system if the article topic is fully within that system, e.g., civil law, sharia law, common law, customary law. Within a given legal system, the law may have evolved in divergent ways. Because the law differs between jurisdictions, make clear what jurisdiction you are writing about. Try to incorporate a comparative perspective, if possible and appropriate. Use separate section headers when providing specifics as to a jurisdiction or system.
Provide some depth and detail worthy of an encyclopedia
For Latin words and phrases, consider one or more of the following:
Use {{lang}}: Example: {{lang|la|Nolo contendere}}. This results in "Nolo contendere".
Use {{lang-la}} (where la is the language code for "Latin"): Example: {{langx|la|Nolo contendere}}. This results in the display text: "Latin: Nolo contendere".
