Excerpt from Full and Complete Analytical Index: Code of Civil Procedure, Statutory of Law, State of New York
The recent history of legal procedure in New York state is neither encouraging nor edifying. The codes of procedure in the civil courts have immensely increased the work of the judges and delayed the administration of justice.
In the seven years immediately preceding the adoption of the Code of Procedure in 1848, there were less than 200 reported cases upon practice, and these related principally to arrest, attachment, certiorari, injunction, mandamus and other subjects that really affect substantive rights rather than questions of procedure. But in the seven years after 1876, there were more than-200 reported decisions on a single section of the Code of Civil Procedure, which had been first enacted twenty-five years before, and which had been nine times amended in the attempt to make it state the law.
