THE MACHINERY OF PROCEDURAL REFORM

Authors

Edson R. Sunderland, University of Michigan Law School

Abstract

Much has been said and written about the imperfections of legal procedure. It is a subject of great interest and concern to the bar and to the public. Since rules of practice prescribe the conditions under which rules of law may be made operative, in so far as they fail of their purpose the law itself becomes ineffective. Lord Campbell is reported to have said that "The due distribution of justice depends more upon the rules by which suits are conducted than on the perfection of the code by which rights are defined."
