Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clevenger's Rules of Civil Practice of the State of New York: Being the Official Edition of 1922 and Court Rules of Court of Appeals, Appellate Divisions, Appellate Terms and Supreme Court Alphabetical Annotations. The precise point of every New York and Federal reported cases relating to present practice is annotated alphabetically by means of a headnote or Headline and a subnote or Subline followed by a reading note. Each Headline is made from the text of the Rule annotated, and is arranged in natural sequence. Each Subline indexes the subject matter of its reading note, and is arranged alphabetically. The Headline and the Subline with its reading note, taken together, state completely the precise point decided, and furnish both a logical analysis and an alphabetical index. The special use herein of the simple device of a Star marks a distinct advance in the art of annotating statutes by avoiding the serious defect, heretofore found in all statutory annotations, of annotating the same or closely related matters under both affirmative and negative headings, like Particulars granted and Particulars not granted, of dividing contrary views of the same or similar facts, even of separating con icting cases on precisely the same point, and of requiring the lawyer to read all the cases under both headings to find all the law. Such a division of matter necessarily sacrifices accuracy, clearness and conciseness, as well as time and efficiency, and is never justifiable. Such a defect is caused by using both affirmative and negative headings; it may be avoided, and all related matters be annotated under one heading, by using only affirmative headings and by using the Star to denote the negative. So herein every heading or Headline is affirmative, like Particulars granted the negative is denoted by the Star placed before the case cited, which means, reading Not into the Headline, Particulars not granted. For illustration, all unstarred cases show what particulars are granted, and all starred cases show what particulars are not granted. Text-book, Digest and Encyclopedia. The fundamental rules and principles of practice law are stated and annotated alphabetically, with all exceptions, qualifications, extensions, limitations, explanations, criticisms, reasons, history, etc, and with all the countless illustrations of the applications of such rules and principles to the varying states of fact of litigated cases, all logically analyzed and alphabetically indexed, thereby imparting the triple nature and quality of a text-book, an exhaustive digest, and a concise but complete encyclopedia of all practice points.
