Collateral Attacks Based on Irregularities

Authors

John R. Rood, University of Michigan Law School

Abstract

Should judicial action ever be held void on collateral attack by reason of any departure from the prescribed mode of procedure? To discuss this question is the purpose of the present article. The magnitude of the subject will forbid the discussion of any specific departures or modes of procedure in detail. Numberless decisions and discussions on specific points will be found scattered through the books where these points are severally treated. If anything need be said, the comprehensive view is the one most needing attention, and least liable to receive it, because text-writers to a great extent, and the courts always, are concerned with the concrete case.
