Gibson's Suits in Chancery

This is the book Tennessee chancery lawyers have been quoting at each other since Grover Cleveland was president, and they're still quoting it. Gibson wrote with the patience and precision of someone who expected to be cited in court for the next century, and he was right about that. Not for the casual reader. This is equity procedure — bills, answers, interrogatories, demurrers, the whole pre-modern apparatus that survives in chancery courts where the merger of law and equity never fully took. But if you practice or study Tennessee equity, Gibson is the foundation everything else builds on. Modern editions update the citations; the bones are still his. Four worms — a niche pick, but a serious one.
