Présentation de l'éditeur

From an early period law schools have recognized the importance of pleading and evidence and have offered well organized courses in these subjects, but until recently the law of procedure has been inadequately treated. In most schools, where the subject was noticed at all, it was covered by a lecture course on general practice, or more frequently, the practice of a particular jurisdiction, supplemented by more or less unsatisfactory work in a moot court of some sort. Several causes were responsible for this condition of affairs. First, the absence of any text adapted to class room needs; second, the tendency to confuse the law of practice with the art of advocacy, a subject difficult, if not impossible, to teach by ordinary methods; third, the assumption that practice was essentially a local matter, to be picked up in the office and court room after graduation. The result was that graduates came to the bar well trained in the substantive branches of the law, but practically untrained in the law of procedure. It is not surprising, therefore, that cases were badly tried and the records filled with errors, resulting in a general demand for a reform of the practice. No doubt this part of the law may be vastly improved, but the editor is skeptical as to the success of simplified procedure without adequately trained men to administer it, or as to any real reform, not based on thorough understanding of the system that has come down from the common law, modified by patchwork legislation.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
