Synopsis

"Code Of Practice In Civil And Criminal Cases For The State Of Kentucky". This nineteenth?century reference consolidates Kentucky's civil and criminal procedural materials, offering cross?references, subject headings, and an array of standardized forms for lawyers, clerks, and scholars. The Civil Code portion lays out the full procedural framework: commencement of actions, service of process, the structure of courts (Circuit Courts, Louisville-Chancery Court, County Courts, Justices’ and City/Police Courts), attachments and seizures, injunctions, claims and delivery of personal property, lands and slaves, guardianships, executors/administrators, pleadings and defenses, trials (jury and nonjury), judgments, appeals, and rules of construction. It includes procedural specifics such as bonds, security for costs, depositions, witnesses, subpoenas, and forms for various civil actions and remedies. The Criminal Code portion (as excerpted) outlines indictment and trial procedures: grand juries, indictments, arraignment, pleas, joinder/misjoinder, trial by jury or court, verdicts, appeals, executions, bail, arrest warrants, and habeas corpus; it also addresses offenses, degrees, impeachments, and related safeguards. Notable features include extensive jurisdictional notes, cross?references between civil and criminal processes, and a dedicated section on forms. The work functions as a practical procedural reference, complete with an index, narratives, and example forms, with the excerpt concluding in forms and promotional material.
