Author Description

Excerpt from The California Practice Act IN presenting this work to the profession, the object of the compiler has been to lessen the difficulty experienced in the preparation and trial of causes, from a want of knowledge of our code of civil practice, by attorneys assembled here from the various States of the Union. This difficulty induced him to collect such precedents as our Courts had established, and such others as would prove useful in the application of the code. Authorities are added, which have emanated from the Fourth, Sixth and Twelfth Judicial District Courts, and the Superior Court of the City of San Francisco, which will elucidate points of practice not yet settled on appeal by the Supreme Court. By letter addressed to each of the District Judges in the State, they were respect fully requested to furnish such decisions upon practice as they had made, which were not adjudicated upon in the Supreme Court, and such as have been received have been given in the following pages.
