Excerpt from Inns of Court: An Historical Description of the Inns of Court and Chancery of England
The purpose of this unpretentious volume is to furnish to the legal profession in the United States and Canada a clear but concise history and description of those ancient and honourable schools of law in England which for the past six centuries have been known as Inns of Court and Chancery. An Inn of Court is something more than a law school, it is an official legal society exercising plenary power as to the education, licensing and disbarment of barristers. From the moment of joining the Inn until he is called by its authority to the Bar, the student is under its old-fashioned but wise scrutiny; and after he dons the wig and gown the barrister is still a member of the Inn and subject to its rules and discipline.
The four Inns of Court, Middle Temple, Inner Temple, Gray"s and Lincoln"s Inn, are all equal in honour and authority, but all are separate and have their individual history, traditions and associations. We take it for granted that every judge, lawyer, professor of jurisprudence and law student everywhere must be interested in knowing everything possible concerning these venerable societies.
