Judgepedia strives to be a common resource. Judgepedia's contributors and users welcome responsible, {{tag|knowledge}}-building contributions from anyone who wishes to participate as a content contributor. To cope with bot-vandalism and spamming, in Spring 2008 Judgepedia changed its settings so that before someone can edit a page, they must {{tag|LoginToEdit|register}} with the site by setting up a user account. Users who engage in wiki-vandalism will be blocked, for the protection of the site's integrity.

*Do not give undue weight to one viewpoint.
*Exercise fairness of tone.
*Good research, verifiability and reliability of sources are core values.
