Civil Procedure (The Bar Lecture Series) Volume I

by Willard B. Riano

This work is the first volume of a two-volume material in Civil Procedure and is prepared primarily for the law student and the bar reviewee as an aid to passing the annual bar examinations. Hence, its scope discloses no pretensions of being an exhaustive discussion of every procedural principle.

In this volume, every effort is made to incorporate the available latest pronouncements of the Supreme Court. References are also made to the year when a particular topic was recently made the subject of the bar examinations.

Like similar materials written before this edition. this work is a sincere and humble attempt to present procedural principles in a manner that would approximate their application to actual litigation. However, owing to the limited purpose of this material, it is not possible to include every procedural principle that may possibly arise in the litigation process although the reader may find within its pages the fundamental principles necessary to grasp the essence of procedural law.

This material is written based on the theory that the study of procedure is not the difficult process it has traditionally been made to appear. As we had earlier stated in a similar treatise, there is a "need to provide a fresh look at the subject so the reader may see how the various pieces of the procedural puzzle neatly fit into a beautiful and logical scheme." Hence, the reader will find that the topics in this material constitute the rearranged versions of those found in the Rules of Court. The rearrangement is intended to bring down the study of procedure to a more simplified yet workable level so the student of law may come to realize that procedural principles are neither abstract nor circuitous.
