Re: Chancery, common law, etc.,
I found a neat book at the Library of VA which explains many of the court terms
of the 18th, 19th century American courts. It deals specifically with New York,
but many of the explanations hold for most states, including VA. Ever wonder
what "In Case" or "In Trespass" or "Replevin" mean? (I've seen thousands of
those in Loudoun court books). And want more than a brief definition, i.e., put
in the context of history in a way that a non-lawyer can understand.
The book should be available at major libraries or on interlibrary loan.
Below I've copied and pasted the catalog entry from the Library of VA catalog
entry. Makes for interesting reading and it really helped me understand Loudoun
court records in way that no other book had helped before.
