Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the tangled history of Lincoln's Inn, one of London's ancient 'Inns of Court', the professional associations for barristers and judges. The author reveals the origins of Lincoln's Inn in the thirteenth-century house of the Bishops of Chichester. Contrary to popular belief, it was never the residence of any Earl of Lincoln, though the Inn adopted their coat of arms and took on their name. The story of Lincoln's Inn is inseparable from the history of the common law and the legal profession over several centuries. This book examines the development of the society over time, including its relationship with the Inns of Chancery such as Thavie's Inn and Furnival's Inn, and its struggle to establish independence from the Bishop of Chichester, who retained a claim on the property until the sixteenth century. The author explores the legal controversies over this claim, as well as over the nature and privileges of the Inns of Court and Chancery generally. This book makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Inns of Court and the origins of the legal profession in England.
