Each publication begins with its lesson, works back to the doctrine beneath it, and marks the boundary a court will hold it to — the defense to anticipate before you rely on it. Delivered as a PDF the moment you give.
The answers were written down long ago. Learn where they were kept.
You will be able to open a centuries-old law book and find the rule you came for. Most people were never shown where the answers were kept or how to read them; this guide teaches the habits of the old books and opens a shelf of rare works of equity, every one free to read.
Every rule of equity has an edge. Know the edge before you lean on the rule.
You will be able to read any equitable claim — your own or an opponent's — and see which rule it stands on and where that rule gives way. Twelve cards, one maxim each, carry you from the edge back to the rule, its meaning, the doctrines it produced, and its moral root in Scripture.
Equity moves in a fixed order. Know the order, and no step surprises you.
You will be able to follow a suit in equity from first filing to final decree and know what must come next at every step. Work backward from the decree and the order appears: enforcement rests on the decree, the decree on the account and the proof, the proof on the pleadings, the pleadings on the bill.
Principle and procedure, learned together, carry a claim from conscience to decree.
You will hold the foundation entire: the principles that decide a claim, the order by which a claim is heard, and the path to deeper study. Principle without procedure goes nowhere; procedure without principle carries nothing. The three foundation pieces, together.
