Excerpt from Annotated Statutes and Rules of Trial Practice and Appellate Procedure in South Dakota and North Dakota: Embracing Issues, Trials, Exceptions, Bills of Exception and Statement of Case, New Trials, Appeals and Writs of Error; In Both Civil and Criminal Cases, in All the Courts; Rules of the Supreme Courts of Both States: And Appeal-Late Procedure, All Fully A If the labor necessarily involved in the preparation of a work upon trial practice and appellate procedure for the Dakotas, in the form of compilation with annotations, shall prove to have been done acceptably to the profession, in this book, the author ventures the opinion that no apology is due for preparing: and presenting it to the public. Based as it is upon one of the most thoroughly tested and enlightened of the Codes of Procedure in existence in this country, whose chief features are the embodiment of the wisdom of the founders of that system, supplemented by continued additions and slight changes in furtherance of its spirit and its efficacy, through the various revised Codes, and all embellished by a constantly enlarging field of adjudicated law which has emanated from the bench of the former Territory and of the twin States succeeding it; if only the process of arrangement of the laws and the digesting and disposition of those decisions were properly done, the result would seem to be of value to the bar and bench in particular, whose joint duty it is to expose and apply their principles. These decisions cover more than one third of a century of time; they are so numerous and so general in their relation to the body of such procedure, as to make necessary to a prompt and intelligent understanding of their status, their collection in a single book under the appropriate sections of the statutes pertaining thereto. The author had spent a large portion of his time for years in searching them out and referring them to those (among many other) sections of the Compiled Laws, the old Codes, and the Session Laws, partly because it became necessary to do so in order to keep in touch with them in the practice of his profession, but partly also with a view to finally utilizing them substantially as they are made to serve the purposes of this work. These are the reasons which led up to the formal effort here produced. The encouragement and commendation (which it is hoped will prove to have been in some measure warranted) which have been bestowed, from the direction of the bench and bar, in the course of its preparation, have relieved the author while engaged in the vast amount of drudgery and perplexity of details involved in preparing the manuscript therefor; for which he wishes to here make grateful acknowledgment.
