CLEAR, CONCISE, COMPREHENSIVE. A NEW WORK
CODE PLEADING
WITH
Forms and Directions.
By SAMUEL MAXWELL, CHIEF JUSTICE SUPREME COURT OF NEBRASKA.
THE WORK IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN ALL CODE STATES.
The author has produced a clear, concise, practical and reliable work, adapted to all the Code States, and the decisions of the Courts of such States have been fully cited in support of the various propositions. The rules of Code pleading are stated generally, and also in particular cases both in favor of the plaintiff and defendant, and between defendants, and forms of pleading given. These forms, it is believed, cover nearly every case that may arise, either in law or equity, or both.
THE BEST WORK YET PUBLISHED ON THE SUBJECT.
Hon. David Dudley Field says: "You have written a valuable book, and done a real service to our common profession."
Hon. D. M. Valentine, of the Supreme Court of Kansas; "I find it a valuable addition to the working implements of the profession. It is just such a work as we would expect from the able, careful, and concientious Chief Justice of Nebraska. I recommend it to the profession."
Hon. Alfred Wallin, of the Supreme Court of North Dakota, says: "MAXWELL'S CODE PLEADING, with its valuable Appendix of Forms and Directions, impresses me very favorably. I am confident that it will aid materially in the development of pleading as a science."
Hon. B. P. Waggener, General Attorney of the Mo. Pac. R'y Co., says: I have carefully examined the work, and without hesitation pronounce it the most complete work on Code Pleadings that has come under my observation.
