Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cases on Federal Procedure Together With Judicial Code, Equity Rules, Forms and Questionnaire This book has been compiled primarily for use in the class room. Therefore its size has been kept within such a limit that it can all be covered in two recitations a week for half of a school year. As a result, only the more important sections of the Judicial Code have been covered thoroughly, and cases have not been included on points which are obvious. The notes presented in connection with the reprinted cases are not intended to be lists of cases in accord with them, but rather to show when there are cases contra to them, and to give illustrations of variations of the problems dealt with in them. Only those portions of the cases which are relevant to the points which are intended to be illustrated by them are set forth. Names and arguments of counsel are omitted, as are long lists of cited cases. In many instances the facts have been restated. The Judicial Code has been included, so that it may be available for ready reference. The Equity Rules, and certain forms illustrating them, have been reprinted so that, if time permits, some work may be done along the practical lines of Federal Procedure. A large number of forms have not been reprinted, since the students using this book would not have the time to study them accurately. I gratefully acknowledge the kindness of Dean Roscoe Pound and Professor Joseph H. Beale of the Harvard Law School in responding to my requests for advice. The inclusion of certain portions of this book, as well as the form given to some of the indexes, is due to that correspondence.
