| | Pleading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the law, a pleading is one of the papers filed with a court in a civil action, such as a complaint, a demurrer, or an answer. | | | However, code pleading was criticized because many lawyers felt that it was too difficult to fully research all the facts needed to bring a complaint before one had even initiated the action, and thus meritorious plaintiffs could not bring their complaints in time before the statute of limitations expired. | | | Common law pleading was the system of civil procedure used in England, where each cause of action had its own separate procedures. |

| | Otherwise, a specific amount may not be stated, and the pleading must include allegations that show that the claim is within the jurisdiction of the court. | | | Affirmative defenses must be stated in a party's responsive pleading, either as originally filed or as amended in accordance with MCR 2.118. | | | A defense not asserted in the responsive pleading or by motion as provided by these rules is waived, except for the defenses of lack of jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action, and failure to state a claim on which relief can be granted. |

| | This type of heightened pleading is also frequently seen in federal court practice despite Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 and repeated Supreme Court authority embracing a notice pleading standard. | | | The Supreme Court also rejected the argument that the pleadings should be amended to conform to the evidence at trial. | | | The uncertainty is magnified in a presidential election contest originating with the Chief Justice due to unique statutory requirements applying to contests “in the supreme court.” 1 Election contest pleading and discovery procedures lead to an inescapable conclusion: an election contest is not typical civil litigation. |

| | In pleading a judgment or decision of a domestic or foreign court, judicial or quasi-judicial tribunal, or of a board or officer, it is sufficient to aver the judgment or decision without setting forth matter showing jurisdiction to render it. | | | A pleading may state as a cross-claim any claim by one party against a co-party arising out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter either of the original action or of a counterclaim therein or relating to any property that is the subject matter of the original action. | | | In pleading an official document or official act it is sufficient to aver that the document was issued or the act done in compliance with law. |

| | At common law and in code pleading jurisdictions a challenge to the substantive sufficiency of a complaint or an answer is termed a "general demurrer." Under the Federal Rules, demurrers have been abolished. | | | FRCP 11 requires that every pleading must be signed by at least one attorney of record or by the party if he is not represented by counsel. | | | Unless an affirmative defense is pleaded, it cannot be proved at trial, although the court in its discretion, may give defendant leave to amend the answer to add the defense at any time. |

| | In a nasty irony, the pressure to plead may be greatest when the prosecution's case for conviction is weakest, because here the prosecution has greatest incentive to offer a big sentence discount to avoid a trial. | | | Joseph Jones, another Rampart defendant just released from prison, pleaded guilty to charges based on corrupt evidence because he also faced a potential 25-years-to-life sentence under the state's "three-strikes" law. | | | The fact is that most defense counsel lack the time and resources to independently investigate criminal charges and so must advise defendants based largely on prosecution-supplied information and the attorney's courtroom experience. |

| | Pleading and Encouragement |
| | What a liar the man must be who would hint such a thing when I am urging my servant to turn and save his life! | | | Have you not heard his sword stirring in its scabbard? | | | It would have leaped forth from its sheath if mercy had not thrust it back, and pleaded, "O thou sword of the Lord, rest and be quiet!" It is only because his compassions fail not that you are favored with the loving invitations of the gospel. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Tertullian |
| | The effect on the pagans may have been rather to irritate than to convince. | | | But every lover of eloquence, and there were many in those days, will have relished with the pleasure of an epicure the feast of ingenious pleading and recondite learning. | | | The rapier thrusts are so swift, we can hardly realize their deadliness before they are renewed in showers, with sometimes a blow as of a bludgeon to vary the effect. |
