| Summary | "The Inns of Court" by Cecil Headlam is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich history and evolution of the Inns of Court in London, detailing their origins from the Knights Templars and their significance in the legal profession. It ranks as a detailed exploration of a key institution within the English legal system, making it appealing to readers interested in history, law, and London's cultural heritage. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by describing the unique character of ancient cities, specifically London, and how historical events have shaped its landscape. The narrative then transitions into the origins of the Inns of Court, tracing back to the time of William the Conqueror and the establishment of the King’s Court. It discusses the development of legal education, the role of the clergy in early legal practices, and the rise of lay lawyers who formed societies known as Inns of Court. The opening thus provides an intriguing glimpse into the evolution of legal institutions and a structural overview of the topics that will be explored in further chapters, laying a solid foundation for a deep dive into the history of these famed legal establishments.
