Replication
Summary
English common law courts developed a complex process of pleading in civil suits that required the parties to file a series of legal documents, or pleadings, in order to define the dispute precisely. Courts in England’s American colonies and, later, in the United States adopted this pleading system. After the plaintiff filed the declaration and the defendant responded in a plea, the plaintiff would file a replication, which responded to the plea.
