Book Description

Excerpt from A Treatise on Practice in the Civil Courts of Record of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 4 Much of the old has been retained to explain the new; thus while all reviews in the appellate courts are now called appeals, their essential nature has not been changed by applying one name to all; and the importance of understanding what is a writ of error and a certiorari is not lessened by the enactment of the law of 1889. Those who use volumes one and two are reminded that two more volumes will, in due time, appear treating of the different legal actions or remedies now in use, and that many matters which might have been presented in these volumes are reserved for presentation in them. Many, perhaps most matters, might be presented with equal appropriateness in the general chapter to which they relate, or in the chapter dealing with the particular action or remedy to which they are also related. If therefore they are not found in these volumes, the reader is besought to trust the revisers' statement that they are reserved for the other volumes. It certainly is their intention to include in the entire work all the principles and rules of practice and every important case applying to them. Another feature of the present edition is the addition of a very large number of forms. Besides those in volumes one and two, many more will appear in the two concluding volumes; in short, this edition will aim to give all the forms deemed most useful to the legal practitioner.
