surrejoinder

surrejoinder (s[schwa]r-ri-joyn-d[schwa]r).Common-law pleading. The plaintiff’s answer to the defendant’s rejoinder. See REPLICATION. [Cases: Pleading 184.]

“Where the common-law system of pleading is in force, the pleadings do not terminate with the plaintiff’s replication. The defendant may interpose a rejoinder to the replication, and the plaintiff a surrejoinder to the defendant’s rejoinder. Then follows the rebutter, which in turn may be met by a surrebutter.” 61A Am. Jur. 2d Pleading § 193, at 192 (1981).
