Sir Edward Coke and the Elizabethan Age

Sir Edward Coke (1552-1634), the first judge to strike down a law, gave us modern common law by turning medieval common law inside-out. Through his resisting strong-minded kings, he bore witness for judicial independence. This scholarly biography draws on Coke's own papers and notebooks.
