Author: Pomeroy, John Norton
Title: The "CIVIL Code" in California
Description: New York, No publisher, 1885. Pamphlet. Presumed the New York Bar Association. New York: 1885. Pamphlet, side sewn, lacking any wrappers or binding originally issued. 69 pp. Reprinted from the West Coast Reporter. A critical look at the Civil Code laws of California, asserting that the civil code as written is full of errors, uncertainties and inconsistencies, with almost all sections needing judicial interpretation before their meanings can be understood. Pomeroy felt that the administration of the law was under threat of deterioration because of this. The New York Bar Association printed this critique because the civil code of California was a copy of a draft reported to the New York legislature in 1865. John Norton Pomeroy was an American lawyer, and law professor, and wrote many important text books and works on American law. Pomeroy helped develop the newly established Hastings College in California's law curriculum, and served as their sole law professor. This helped him gain expertise in California law. GOOD condition. Moderate to heavy toning to the front cover, with otherwise general toning. Faint dampstaining along the fore edge, resulting in some light wrinkling to the text block. Good .
