“The body of law in a State consists of two parts, substantive and adjective law. The former prescribes those rules of civil conduct which declare the rights and duties of all who are subject to the law. The latter relates to the remedial agencies and procedure by which rights are maintained, their invasion redressed, and the methods by which such results are accomplished in judicial tribunals.” Edwin E. Bryant, The Law of Pleading Under the Codes of Civil Procedure 1 (2d ed. 1899).
