Please read WP:BLP and WP:CRIME before adding to this short list.

  • Frank Bourassa, Canadian counterfeiter[8][9][10]
  • Kidnapping of Elizabeth Thomas, 2017 kidnapping of a Tennessee high school student who was kidnapped by her teacher Tad Cummins[11][12][13][14]
  • Operation Fountain Pen - 1970s FBI investigation into various confidence scams that seems to deserve more coverage. According to the LA Times, Operation Fountain Pen resulted in "the conviction of dozens of con men across the country" and "spawned" the Abscam investigation.[15][16][17] Related possible new article subjects could include FBI agent James J. Wedick Jr. (J. J. Wedick) and convicted con artist Phil Kitzer, both of whom were involved in multiple other cases that received considerable attention in the news as detailed in these sources.
  • Raines Tree Farm - multimillion dollar inheritance scam involving psychic Rachel Lee and her daughter Portia Lee scamming Oregon tree farm heir Ralph Raines Jr.[18]
  • Remembrance Day Shootings[19][20][21][22][23]
  • Rosalynn McGinnis and Henri Michele Piette - Rosalynn was kidnapped by Henri, her stepfather, in 1997 at age 12. She escaped 19 years later with 8 of the 9 children he fathered on her. The story was reported by People magazine, The Guardian, The New York Post, and many others.

Organizations

[edit]
  • Law Foundation of Ontario - an organization created by an amendment to the Law Society Act in 1974. Its purpose is to receive the interest earned on lawyers' mixed trust accounts and to use it to support legal education, legal aid, legal research and law libraries. By law, the foundation gives 75% of the revenue from these mixed trust accounts after operating expenses to Legal Aid Ontario and 25% to grants with the purpose to improve access to justice.
  • Lawyers Constitutional Defense Committee - an organization of civil rights and pro bono attorneys instrumental in securing rights for minorities, particularly in MS. And LA during and after the Freedom Summer. LCDC was a key organization for constitutional rights in the deep South. People who can add more information include attorneys Stanley A. Halpin of the Southern University Law School (Baton Rouge) and George Strickler of the Tulane University School of Law. LCDC is referenced in several existing articles (e.g., Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law).
  • Template:Supreme Courts of Europe In the UK for instance, there are at least 2 other de facto Supreme Courts alongside and in addition to the actual UK Supreme Court (the High Court of Justiciary of the Supreme Courts of Scotland and the Judiciary Committee of the Privy Council; if you don't also count the Houses of Parliament!) In France, there are 4 (technically all de facto) Supreme Courts. The present ad hoc template is just simply not fit for purpose. We need a proper, actual dedicated template.
