Spindle Law’s user contribution model differs a bit from that of, say, wikipedia.  As I described in the first post on this blog, everyone with a knowledge of, and interest in, the law will be invited to edit and contribute.  In addition, though, someone with a special expertise in each area of law will act as chief editor of the corresponding “module” of the research system—creating its basic structure and overseeing its development.

With that as background, I can announce, with great excitement, that Professor Peter Tillers of the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University will be chief editor of our evidence module.  Professor Tillers is a leading scholar of evidence law.  His numerous publications include two volumes of Wigmore on Evidence, which he revised, as well as books and articles on a wide range of topics in evidence.  He blogs at Tillers on Evidence and Inference and Prime Thoughts.  Professor Tillers has already begun building the evidence module, and before too long we plan to begin releasing it, so that you can watch—and help—it grow.
