Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes and critiques the legal reforms of the 19th century, particularly the New York Code of Procedure of 1848, and its subsequent deleterious effects upon the practice of law and litigation. The author, a lawyer and judge from the time of the Code's inception, traces the historical and conceptual origins of the common law system of pleading and procedure, demonstrating the superiority of its logical and formulaic approach to the reformed system's haphazard and unsystematic approach. The author argues that the reforms were ill-conceived and have led to increased complexity, confusion, and expense in the legal system. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and philosophy of law, legal procedure, or the development of the American legal system. It provides profound insights into the nature of justice, the role of law in society, and the importance of preserving the principles of logic and reason in the administration of justice.
