The Reform Of Legal Procedure (1911) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165103614)

The Reform of Legal Procedure is a book written by Moorfield Storey in 1911. The book is a detailed analysis and critique of the legal system in the United States at the time, with a focus on the need for reform. Storey argues that the legal system is too slow, too expensive, and too complicated, and that it is failing to serve the needs of the people.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the legal system. Storey begins by discussing the history of legal procedure in the United States, tracing its development from English common law. He then goes on to examine the current state of the legal system, including the role of judges, juries, and lawyers.Throughout the book, Storey provides numerous examples of cases that illustrate the problems with the legal system. He argues that the system is biased towards the wealthy and powerful, and that it often fails to provide justice for ordinary people.In the final chapters of the book, Storey proposes a series of reforms that he believes are necessary to improve the legal system. These include simplifying legal procedures, reducing the cost of legal services, and making the system more accessible to ordinary people.Overall, The Reform of Legal Procedure is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the legal system in the early 20th century. While some of Storey's proposals may seem outdated or impractical today, his critique of the legal system remains relevant and thought-provoking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
