Synopsis

Cases and Statutes on Code Pleading helps you study pleading through real decisions.

This classic text presents code pleading as a living, case‑driven method. It explains how statutory rules underpin the modern pleading system and shows how courts interpret those rules across states. The book is designed for classroom use, printing the cases and statutes that illustrate core principles while guiding students to compare statutes with their own codes.

Though it does not replace reading a complete code, the work emphasizes the leading ideas behind code pleading and how they have evolved. It presents the material in a practical order, with cases arranged chronologically and statutes shown in their original forms and later amendments. The aim is to help instructors and students uncover how principles operate in real decisions.

• Understand the origin and scope of code pleading as a statutory system.
• See how courts interpret key principles through case examples.
• Learn to compare statutory provisions with your own code and test theories against actual decisions.
• Follow the development of pleading concepts across the code states and over time.

Ideal for readers of legal methods and code pleading, including students and instructors seeking a hands‑on way to study how statutes become practice.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from A Selection of Cases and Statutes on the Principles of Code Pleading: With Notes

The need of such a book has-been felt by me almost from my first meeting with the class in code pleading in the Law School of the Cincinnati University. Our course on that subject was based on a standard treatise and the Ohio code of civil procedure, both supplemented by occasional lectures on special topics, by occasional illustrations from leading cases, and by the drafting of pleadings under the code. There was no systematic and direct study of the cases themselves as embodying principles of code pleading.

Between this method of instruction and that which obtained in classes where cases were used as the basis of instruction, there was evidently a radical difference. -with the latter method, the instructor and every member of his class came into direct touch with the subject-matter of their investigation - the cases embodying the principles whose nature and application they sought to understand; with the former method, the law student seldom got beyond the treatise. While reading about the cases under the codes, and the enactments of other code states, he was not studying either at first hand, but rather was memorizing the deductions from them which he found in the treatise.
