Peter McCall papers

1773-1879

https://discover.hsp.org/Record/ead-0402#description

These papers represent a substantial part of the lecture notes of Peter McCall, Professor of Practice, Pleading and Evidence in the Law Department of the University of Pennsylvania, 1852-1860. The papers include five introductory lectures, delivered in successive years; notes on the Course of Practice and Pleading at Law; an almost complete set of notes on his course in Evidence as well as his course on the Practice and Pleading in Equity; eight unindentifiable lectures; a small group of miscellaneous notes; and what appears to be an 1839 docket of two moot courts. The lectures evidently followed Simon Greenleaf, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, vols. I and II (Boston: 1844, 1846).
