Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Jersey Practice Act (1912) And Rules: Annotated; With New Forms, Adapted to This Procedure It is not intended to offer here a general treatise upon practice or pleading, but only such explanatory notes as may aid the practitioner in adapting the new methods to the old: for it should not be forgotten that the new system, radical as are the changes made by it, has still the common law procedure for its basis. Neither is it intended to offer a complete set of forms, but enough only to illustrate adequately the new methods of pleading and the more simple and flexible forms of judgment that will be used in the new practice. Most of the forms of pleadings are taken from the Connecticut Practice Book, but these are more or less modified; a few are from Bullen & Leake's English Forms under the Common Law Procedure Acts, modified to conform to our new rules of pleading; and many are entirely new. The annotations to the Act and Rules cannot usefully be made very full till a considerable number of judicial interpretations of those regulations shall have been made. A few English and Connecticut cases are referred to in the notes, but not many of the provisions of they rules in those jurisdictions are identical in language with our own, and most of their judicial decisions interpreting them will be found to be inapplicable here. The English Judicature Acts and Rules, with copious annotations, may be found in The Annual Practice, by Snow, Burney & Stringer, or in The Yearly Supreme Court Practice, by Mackenzie & Chitty. Both are published yearly in London. The latter is in the state law library at Trenton. An excellent treatise on the new English procedure is Odgers' Pleading and Practice (London, 1903). The Connecticut Practice Act, without the rules, is in the volume of pamphlet laws of that state for 1879 at page 432. The rules may be found in 58 Conn. 561. The act and the rules, with some annotations, were first published together in Beer's Connecticut Practice. This is now out of print.
