Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Study of Cases: A Course of Instruction in Reading and Stating Reported Cases, Composing Head-Notes and Briefs, Criticising and Comparing Authorities, and Compiling Digests

The aim of this volume is to teach students the methods by which lawyers detect dicta and deter mine the pertinence and weight of reported cases. The most important points as to those methods are explained in the general view with which the volume opens. As the methods cannot be mastered without practice, the remainder of the volume is devoted to cases for study. The intention is that the student shall'state the cases, discover the doctrines of law established by them, compose head-notes, point out dicta, make all possible comments as to the weight of the decisions, and compile a digest. Simple cases have been placed near the beginning of the volume, and an attempt has been made to lead the student by easy steps to the rather difficult cases with which the volume closes. Without material departure from that plan, the cases on related points of law have been placed together and have been arranged chro nologically; and thus the student has been aided to compare cases and to trace the growth of law.
