Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of a Lawsuit
The system of pleading which it teaches, and which pre vails in Tennessee and in some other States, is not common law pleading, neither is it what is commonly designated code pleading. It is a modification of the common law, containing few, if any, of the objectionable features of that system. But the modification does not go to the ex tent of reducing it to the level of code pleading. The technicalities of the ancient forms are disregarded on the one hand, and the dangerous laxity of the code system avoided on the other. It occupies, as I conceive, the mid dle ground between the two, possessing the excellencies of both, the faults of neither. The difierences existing between it and the other two are the occasion of frequent comment and illustration in the book, which should be read to be fully appreciated.
