Common Law Pleading

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

    When we are high and airy hundreds say
    That if we hold that flight they’ll leave the place,
    While those same hundreds mock another day
    Because we have made our art of common things ...
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The Law is the true embodiment
    Of everything that’s excellent.
    It has no kind of fault or flaw,
    And I, my Lords, embody the Law.

    Sweet, let me go! Sweet, let me go!
    What do you mean to vex me so?
    Cease, cease, cease your pleading force!
