Excerpt from Outline of the Jurisdiction and Procedure of the Federal Courts This book is intended as a manual or ready reference book for law students and others who may desire to learn or make use of the elements of the subject of Federal Jurisdiction and Procedure without having to search through the voluminous Works which treat this subject exhaustively. The main part of the book is based upon a course of lectures which the author delivered for a number of years in the School of Law of Washington and Lee University. It presents in a brief but fairly compre hensive manner the subject of federal jurisdiction in general, and describes fully the several courts of the fed eral judicial system, with the details of their organization, jurisdiction, etc. One chapter is devoted to the subject of Removal of Causes and another to a brief description of the procedure of the federal courts. Then follows an outline of a suit in equity under the new Federal Equity Rules. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Jurisdiction and Procedure of the Federal Courts The first edition of this book was published in 1915. It was intended to state and illustrate the fundamental principles governing the jurisdiction and procedure of the Federal Courts concisely and clearly, so that it would be of use both to those who had previously had little familiarity with Federal practice, and to those who, frequently engaged in the Courts of the United States, wanted readily at hand a precise and accurate statement of the basic rules, with references to the leading cases in which they had been laid down and applied. The present second edition is enlarged and brings the work down to date. The appendix contains the Judicial Code, with all amendments made to it up to the adjourn ment of Congress in September, 1922. The author is indebted to Mr. Robert France of Balti more for a verification of the references. Everything else in it has been personally prepared by him.

Handbook of Jurisdiction and Procedure in United States Courts (Classic Reprint)

Languages : en
Pages : 694
Book Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Jurisdiction and Procedure in United States Courts This treatise is designed to fulfill the usual functions of the Hornbooks on the subject of which it treats. It does not pur port to be an exhaustive or elaborate discussion, as such a plan would involve several volumes, instead of one. It is, however, intended to be a means of ready reference to the law on those questions of ordinary routine which the author's experience as a specialist in federal practice has taught him most frequently arise. It is believed that the need exists for a work of this character, notwithstanding the several excellent text-books covering the general subject which go into much greater de tail. The work is designed, also, for use in law schools, where the need of such a treatise seems to be specially apparent. The author has taken great pains to adapt it to this need. In order to render it more available for this purpose, he has inserted in the appendix a table of illustrative cases, which he hopes will be found useful by those teachers who prefer the case system. It has seemed to the author much better and simpler in the discussion of the subject to commence with the inferior courts and follow up through the courts of last resort, though that is not the usual scheme adopted by other text-books on the sub ject. While this plan involves some duplication and cross referencing in case of subjects of which the different federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction, its advantage in enabling the student to trace a case from its inception to its final con elusion is so great as to have convinced the author that it is the best method of treating the subject.

The State Corporation as a Party in the Federal Courts (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 32
Book Description
Excerpt from The State Corporation as a Party in the Federal Courts In tracing this construction and drawing some conclusions and suggestions therefrom, I shall not take up the various judiciary and removal acts of Congress, for, though that body may endow the inferior Federal courts with less jurisdiction than the Constitution warrants, it can not rightfully bestow greater. From the formation of the State to the adoption of the National Constitution, Massachusetts chartered but one corporation (curtis's Jurisdiction, Ch. Judging by the history of that leading Commonwealth, the number of corporations in all the States when the Constitution was adopted did not equal the present daily average for Indiana. The inference is strong that the case of corporations as parties in non-federal litiga tion was not actually in the minds of the framers in formulating the judiciary article of the Constitution. Undoubtedly the use of the word person would have let in corporations, and that, too, within the common acceptation of the word at the time, and without creating a fiction or irrebuttable presumption. But the Constitution itself (and the Amendments) shows a careful and precise use of the words person and citizen. The President must be a citizen. Citizens are entitled to certain privileges and immunities. A person charged with treason. No person shall be held to answer. No person shall be deprived, etc. The Supreme Court has always held that a corporation is a person within those provisions of the Constitution in which the word person is employed. The Supreme Court has always held that a corporation is not a citizen within those provisions of the Constitution in which the word citizen is employed, except the section conferring jurisdiction on the Federal courts. Under that section it has never been held that a corporation is a citizen, but in some cases it has been said that a corpora tion, for the purposes of Federal jurisdiction, may be deemed to be a citizen.

The Federalist Papers

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 455
Book Description
Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.

Book Description
Attempting to reconcile the law's need for workable rules of evidence with the views of scientific validity and reliability. What is scientific knowledge and when is it reliable? These deceptively simple questions have been the source of endless controversy. In 1993, the Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling on the use of scientific evidence in federal courts. Federal judges may admit expert scientific evidence only if it merits the label scientific knowledge. The testimony must be scientifically reliable and valid. This book is organized around the criteria set out in the 1993 ruling. Following a general overview, the authors look at issues of fit--whether a plausible theory relates specific facts to the larger factual issues in contention; philosophical concepts such as the falsifiability of scientific claims; scientific error; reliability in science, particularly in fields such as epidemiology and toxicology; the meaning of scientific validity; peer review and the problem of boundary setting; and the risks of confusion and prejudice when presenting science to a jury. The book's conclusion attempts to reconcile the law's need for workable rules of evidence with the views of scientific validity and reliability that emerge from science and other disciplines.
