Common Law Pleading

Famous quotes containing the words common, law and/or pleading:

    “yet it seems
    Life scarce can cast a fragrance on the wind,
    Scarce spread a glory to the morning beams,
    But the torn petals strew the garden plot;
    And there’s but common greenness after that.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Well, I always say the law was meant to be interpreted in a lenient manner. And that’s what I try to do, is sometimes I lean to one side of it, sometimes I lean to the other.”
    —Irving Ravetch (b. 1920)

    “Sweet, let me go! Sweet, let me go!
    What do you mean to vex me so?
    Cease, cease, cease your pleading force!”
    —Unknown. Sweet, Let Me Go! (L. 1–3)
