I considered even before OOP came out whether the cops and robbers each deserve their own FP.  Now that OOP has given us enough Aurors to make it meaty enough I definitely think we should split them.    

Long, long ago (in February) I came up with a rough outline based on the topics we'd been discussing over the previous year, which I am copying below for use as a starter.  Since the outline treats DEs as one broad subject and Justice/Aurors as a separate subject, they would be easy to separate.  I also think we might want to (tentatively) fold Justice and Aurors into a general update of the Government FP, which OOP has rendered obsolete.

Do we have enough people on the Slyth team to do both?  Perhaps if Derannimer and I worked on the Government/Justice/Aurors side and Tom and Cindy worked on the DE side?  Any other slytherin volunteers?

DEs, Aurors and Wizarding Justice Outline

DEs - in general
  Who are they?  (just inner circle of followers or more?)
  Structure and organization (cells, etc)
  Recruitment (why did they join?  are they a cult?)
  Activities
  Loyalty and competence (e.g., how come they couldn't stun Harry?)
  
DE Magic Theories
  Dark Mark theories
  Power Boost theories

DE Roll Call
    Names & quick description of all known DEs; add more discussion (or cross-reference) for those that have been discussed frequently
    Who is Loyal Servant, etc.
    Rumored DEs (Bagman etc.)

Justice 
    MLE Department
      Crouch Sr.
      Aurors (Frank L and Real!Moody)
      Use of unforgivables on suspects

   Crime & Punishment
      Azkaban and Dementors' kiss
      No capital punishment
      
  Criminal Procedure
     Pensieve - public or private, trial or other hearings?
     Crouch as judge and prosecutor
     Amnesty International/Kangaroo court parallels
     Jailing without trial
     Failure to use Veritaserum, Priori Incantato to find truth
       
I'm sure there's plenty of material I've left out, but it's a start.

I left Voldemort out because he has his own FP.  I think the Crouch family deserves its own, too, but since none are planned, it made sense to include them here.  Fudge is in the Government one.
