Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Handbook of Practice Under the Civil Practice Act of New York: Prepared Primarily for the Use of Students, and Presenting in Brief Form, and in Simplified and Orderly Manner, the Portions Essential for Their Consideration
A study of the new Civil Practice Act and the new Rules Of Court will not, without guidance, lead to a working knowledge of our practice. They were not written for students' use; they (and their predecessors since 1850) have not attempted the creation Of a new system but only to effect needed changes in a previously existing system. Therefore, to the student, the Practice Act and the Court Rules will present an extensive collection of confused and appar ently arbitrary provisions, that no reasonable amount Of study can convert into any coordi nated and articulating system of remedial pro cedure. The present volume has been designed to Offer him some needed assistance in acquir ing fundamentals Of practice, leaving the fuller development of his knowledge as needs arise. The Object of the volume will be accomplished, if through its use the student within the limit Of reasonable effort may secure that fair general comprehension which will enable him to appreciate, and thus to live in terms Of amity and accord with, our rather highly developed modern system of civil practice.
