Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law and Procedure of United States Courts The purpose of this book is to give a brief and concise statement of the Organization, Jurisdiction, and Practice of the various courts of our national government. It is not intended to be a complete work in every detail; but rather an elementary work for students in law schools, students in law offices and for young lawyers who have not received systematic instruction on this subject. The object of the chapter on the history of the United States is to remind the student of the circumstances as they existed at the time our government was formed - to recall the principal events in our historical development - so that the constitutional provisions may be interpreted in their true light. In stating the jurisdiction of the courts, I inserted a number of decisions of the Supreme Court. This seemed the best thing to do as the decisions reviewed the various statutes touching the points under consideration; explained what provisions were repealed; the reasons for such repeals; and besides, they give us the law as it exists at the present time under the latest acts of Congress. In conclusion, I wish to state that a knowledge of this branch of the law is more necessary than ever before. The steady increase of litigation, arising from the rapid growth and reaching out of the business of the country, and the bringing of certain questions within Federal control, demands a thorough preparation on this subject. With this in view, I hope this little volume will enable beginners to learn more, work with greater advantage, and be better able to investigate the legal problems that may come to them in their practice.
