The New Equity Rules of the United States Courts

Abstract

On account of the enormous volume of judicial business to be affected, no such important change in procedure has ever been made as that about to be produced by the new rules of practice for the United States Courts of Equity, which will go into effect February 1, 1913. These new rules not only tend to simplicity and to the elimination of the delays which cause the lay mind to hark back to Jarndvce v. Jarndyce, but they actually relegate to the historical shelf of the solicitor's lumber room much of the technical learning which was his stock in trade.
