Synopsis
Excerpt from Codification in the State of New York
At the request of several friends of Mr. Field's Code I have consented to a reprint of my answers to Mr. Carter's general objections to codification. The opportunity has enabled me to amend the text of the original in several particulars which further reflection dictated, and to add important authorities. The alterations are not extensive; in the reprint, as in the original, no more has been attempted than to present the answers usually made to such objections to codification as those so forcibly re-stated by Mr. Carter in "The Proposed Codification of the Common Law." In the only two instances where Mr. Carter has seen fit to make specific objections to the "Civil Code," reported by Mr. Field, there I have endeavored to outline the argument on the other side of the question, but there my undertaking ended; more than this would have been unwarranted in a publication which professed to be only an answer, not a treatise.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces and examines the arguments for and against the codification of the private law in the state of New York. The author, a prominent lawyer, engages with the ideas of several prominent legal thinkers as he presents a vigorous defense of codification in the state of New York. The author presents a detailed analysis of the differences between customary law and statute law as he builds an argument that New York would benefit from organizing its private law in a code. Exploring historical examples such as Justinianās Corpus Juris Civilis, the author suggests that a move towards codification would not be as radical as opponents would argue. The author concludes by examining the impracticality of the constant judicial interpretation of the law and argues that codification would increase justice by decreasing the number of cases reliant on judicial discretion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331024743_0
