Common Law Pleading

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

    Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
    May boldly deviate from the common track.
    From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
    And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
    Which without passing through the judgment, gains
    The heart, and all its end at once attains.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity—the law of nature and of nations.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    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)
