Synopsis

Definitive guide to libel and slander law, updated through early 1881. This nonfiction volume distills the English and foreign authorities on defamation into a clear, usable form, focusing on the net result of the authorities rather than a piling of cases. It aims to help readers understand how courts treat libel and slander, with practical guidance that goes beyond a simple case list. The author explains how the book is organized: Part I provides a digest of the law, including definitions, construction, and the key distinctions between libel and slander. Part II covers practice, procedure, and evidence, drawing on actual civil and criminal actions and offering practical hints for each side. An Appendix collects precedents of pleadings, both real and hypothetical, to aid real-world use. The text emphasizes careful, reader-friendly explanations and notes that all authorities are cited with care to facilitate further study. What you’ll experience - A structured overview of defamation law, from definitions to damages and privileges - Practical guidance for litigation, including publication, justification, and interim remedies - Access to a curated set of pleadings precedents and referenced cases - Context on how English, American, Canadian, and Australian decisions interact Ideal for students, practicing lawyers, and researchers seeking a thorough, accessible reference on libel and slander law.
